Our Mission

The Public Interest Law Foundation (PILF) at Rutgers University School of Law in Newark is a unique student-run non-profit organization charged with the primary task of raising funds, which are provided to students with summer positions in the public interest field. Our main fundraising activity is our Annual PILF Auction. This past year, PILF raised over $44,000 and was able to give out twelve summer grants. We hope to be even more successful this year, with initiatives including:

• Pledge A Day of Summer Pay to PILF drive
• Our annual poker tournament
Silent auction at the annual Alumni dinner
• The Spring live auction

In addition to raising money, PILF volunteers and grant recipients have one thing in common: all aspire to work or help people work in public interest positions. PILF initiatives help young legal students become more aware of ongoing public interest programs and provide opportunities to network with individuals serving in public interest fields. Join our efforts by donating to our cause.
