Administer Justice relocated to Elgin, IL earlier this year continues to help thousands of vulnerable individuals gain access to justice. Whether single moms in need of support, single fathers seeking to establish a relationship with their children, elderly victims of fraud, the disabled, minorities, those who speak a different language, and others in need of assistance with basic health and human services, Administer Justice is often the last hope.
I had the priviledge to serve as their Chairman of the Board from roughly 2000 - 2008. Since this time the ministry continues to grow and serve as their capacity allows.

How can my support make a difference?
Administer Justice does not charge for services and relies solely on the support of individuals, businesses, churches and grant providers. Without your support we cannot provide stability and security to families in need. Families like Elizabeth, a single mom, whose ex-husband filed an order of protection against her as a means of getting custody of the children and avoiding the payment of support. Administer Justice's intervention in court prohibited such abuse of the domestic violence process. The children were returned and Elizabeth is receiving the support she needs to care for her children.
Each year Administer Justice helps thousands of vulnerable individuals gain access to justice. Whether single moms in need of support, single fathers seeking to establish a relationship with their children, elderly victims of fraud, the disabled, minorities, those who speak a different language, and others in need of assistance with basic health and human services, Administer Justice is often the last hope.
Where does your support go?
Our last audit showed that 0.96 of every $1.00 went directly to programming and that Administer Justice maintains a $45.23 return on investment. This means that for every one dollar of donation Administer Justice is able to provide over $45 of professional services to the disadvantaged. There are not many charitable organizations that can achieve this level of service with your donation.

Planned Giving (Options Beyond A One Time Gift)
When you donate money to an organization you want that money to benefit someone in need. There are many worthy causes which compete for your support.
Consider advice given by experts in a recent issue of Money magazine: "Consider directing some of your giving to smaller organizations and less popular causes that don't have the money for big fund-raising appeals...You may also get a better feel for the impact of your contribution if you direct at least some of your giving to organizations within your own community."
Consider our matching gift opportunities and designated gift opportunities for specific needs.
Also, consider other giving methods such as stocks, life insurance, estate gifts and other planned giving opportunities.
