WELCOME! LITIGATION IS A POWERFUL TOOL FOR RESISTANCE. This year, I saw it in ways that stuck with me.
Our legal team represented Head Start providers fighting to continue providing culturally competent and accessible services to children, transgender youth facing invasive requests for personal information from the federal government, and low-income families who lost SNAP benefits during the government shutdown. Our grant program, including this year an Immigration Rapid Response Fund, gave grantees critical support to defend the rights of immigrants, people with disabilities, children, protesters, and communities of color. With unflagging purpose, they resisted unconstitutional policies, inhumane detention conditions, catastrophic environmental destruction, encroachment on free speech, and more. Our trainings brought thousands of public interest attorneys together to strengthen our advocacy, build community, and increase our capacity to keep pushing forward. I’m grateful for all of you. For the donors who give quietly and consistently. For the advocates and grantees who show up for what’s right. For the community that shares our vision of a more equitable world where everyone can achieve justice. There is plenty to be hopeful about, even at the end of a difficult year. Thank you for making this work possible. In solidarity,
Lindsay Nako Executive Director

GRANTS FOR IMPACT LITIGATION WE HAD MUCH TO CHALLENGE
this year, with the many disruptions in healthcare, student loans, and public benefits — and for immigrant families, the fear of being separated, harmed, or worse. We supported important legal challenges through our new Immigration Rapid Response Fund as well as the litigation grants we have been awarding since 1992.
FY26 GRANTMAKING
Our spirits were lifted by the grants that closed this year — stopping surveillance tech, evaluating pesticides for harmful side effects, and compensating families whose homes were taken from them. All of this is thanks to our many supporters, both new and longstanding, including major partners like the Justice Catalyst Access Fund, the Cameron Schrier Foundation, and the Grove Foundation. No matter what today brings, collectively we are working toward a more just tomorrow.
IMMIGRATION GRANTS
“With support from the
Impact Fund, we will be able to respond quickly, reducing the number of individuals harmed and families separated, and increasing the likelihood of mitigating further ICE enforcement activity.” —Impact Fund grantee

YEAR IN REVIEW FY26 GRANT OUTCOMES
FROM OUR GRANTEES EMANUEL DISPLACED PERSONS ASSOCIATION v. PORTLAND: “Expert reports that the Impact Fund helped to support were helpful in mediation to persuade the defendants that they had exposure should the case go to trial.” —Oregon Law Center
VOGLEWEDE v. SAN ANTONIO:
WHAT OUR GRANTS ACHIEVED
“Cases such as Voglewede v. San Antonio demonstrate that strategic litigation can serve as a catalyst for improving emergency planning systems and ensuring that civil rights protections extend to one of the most consequential functions of government: protecting residents during disasters.” —Disability Rights Texas
ALIANZA NACIONAL DE CAMPESINAS v. EPA:
“Our strategy was effective. Within a year of us filing our lawsuit, the EPA came up with a proposal for revamping the endocrine-disruption assessment process.” —Center for Food Safety

LITIGATION IMPACT FUND’S LITIGATION WORK
reflects the power of using systemic legal challenges to defend essential public programs, protect vulnerable communities, and check unlawful government overreach. In Washington State Association of Head Start v. Kennedy (Western District of Washington), alongside the ACLU Women’s Rights Project, ACLU of Washington, ACLU of Illinois, Crowell & Moring, and Feldesman Leifer LLP, we won two injunctions protecting Head Start programs nationwide from unlawful
efforts to exclude immigrant families, restrict diversity and accessibility programming, and dismantle program staffing. In Perrone v. Rollins (Northern District of California), with Western Center on Law & Poverty, we filed a nationwide class action seeking timely, full SNAP benefits for 42 million people during the federal government shutdown. In A.A. v. Rady Children’s Health (San Diego Superior Court), with Western Center and the National Center
Head Start programs provide education, nutrition, and childcare support to over 800,000 children every year. 6

for LGBTQ Rights, we represent a putative class of transgender young people challenging the hospital system’s decision to end medically necessary gender-affirming care for nearly 2,000 patients. And in In re 2025 Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles Subpoena (Central District of California), with Western Center and Lawyers for Good Government, we protected the privacy of more than 3,000 transgender patients, securing a settlement requiring the U.S. Department of Justice to withdraw intrusive subpoena demands for patient information.
San Diego Pride named the Impact Fund a Community Grand Marshal for our work on the Rady case. Together with our co-counsel, we rode the lead trolley in the parade!
AMICUS BRIEFS IMPACT FUND’S AMICUS ADVOCACY
emphasized the importance of collective legal action to protect the rights of workers, people with disabilities, and people in detention. Leeper v. Shipt (California Supreme Court) We urged the court to preserve the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), which enables workers to enforce workplace protections for themselves and their fellow workers. Kirola v. City and County of San Francisco (Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals) People with mobility disabilities won a nearly 20-year fight to make San Francisco’s public spaces more accessible. On appeal, we and our co-authors, Disability Rights & Education Defense Fund and Fox & Robertson, defended class actions as a means of enforcing disability accessibility requirements in public spaces. Yeend v. Akima Global Services LLC (Second Circuit Court of Appeals) Immigrant detainees were forced to work and paid just $1 a day. We championed the appropriateness of a Rule 23(b)(3) class action by immigrant detainees to challenge the forced labor policies.
DEFENDING IMMIGRANTS VICTORIES IN COURT Washington State Association of Head Start v. Kennedy Head Start programs provide food, education, health services, and more to around 800,000 children per year. Our lawsuit stopped the Trump Administration from excluding immigrant children from Head Start services.
D.N.N. v. Liggins
Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, $10,000 grant. Challenge to inhumane conditions in ICE’s Baltimore holding cells.
Pablo Sequen v. Albarran
Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area, $20,000 grant. Challenge to ICE’s practice of making arrests at immigration courthouses.
Immigrant Rights Lawsuits Funded In FY 2026, we granted $118,000 to fund 7 cases defending the legal rights of immigrants. $69,000 in Immigration Rapid Response Grants (58%)
$49,000 in Quarterly Grants (42%) By defending collective action, we’re making it easier for the little fish to take on the sharks.

NOTICE PROJECT HAVE YOU EVER received information about a class action lawsuit in the mail and been confused?
The Notice Project is an Impact Fund initiative to make it easier for people to understand how their rights are affected by class actions. We build tools for lawyers to send clearer letters, postcards, and emails — called “class notices” — about specific class action lawsuits. In 2026, the Notice Project gained significant momentum. Class notices developed using our tools and class notice templates were used in 33 courts in 19 states, helping thousands of people understand what a class action lawsuit meant for them. We also released 10+ new class action templates, including multiple in Spanish, and a guide for making class action notices more accessible for blind people and people with low vision.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Karla Gilbride is Deputy Director of the Disability Rights Program at ACLU, where
she defends the civil rights of people with disabilities. She previously served as Deputy Director of Public Citizen’s Litigation Group, General Counsel of the EEOC, and co-director of Public Justice’s Access to Justice Project. She has litigated access to justice, workers’ rights, and consumer protections, including a 2022 victory before the U.S. Supreme Court. “We are living through a moment where abuse of power threatens the bedrock of our democracy,” said Gilbride. “Litigation to preserve our civil rights has never been more important.”
GRANTEE HERO: We honored grantee Transgender Law Center with our Grantee Hero Award for its success in Raven v. Polis, a class action on behalf of transgender women incarcerated in Colorado state prisons. The case resulted in gender-affirming healthcare, new safer housing units, and $2.15 million in damages for the class. Managing Attorney Shawn Thomas Meerkamper accepted the award on behalf of Transgender Law Center. “Today, transgender people are increasingly under attack by our governments,” said Meerkamper. “We all have a responsibility to stand up for the people being unjustly targeted.” 2 0 2 6 A N N U A L

TRAINING EVENTS
TRAINING HIGHLIGHTS
THIS YEAR, the Impact Fund offered its renowned training curriculum through the Community Training Series: lunch-hour webinars for public interest litigators, students, and legal professionals from California Qualified Legal Service Providers, legal nonprofits, private firms, and law schools.
In addition, we launched new webinars, including through the Summer Webinar Series, to respond to the unique legal moment and its impact on the public interest community. From addressing the effect of Trump v. CASA, Inc., to sharing the current science on resilience and wellness for attorneys, we created urgent new resources to increase the capacity of our community, and they were enthusiastically received.
Our training efforts are made possible by the State Bar of California’s Legal Services Trust Fund Program.
THE 20TH ANNUAL CLASS ACTION TRAINING INSTITUTE September 9-11, and 23-25, 2026 THE 20TH ANNUAL CLASS ACTION TRAINING INSTITUTE, held in Los Angeles
and Berkeley, immersed 40 class action litigators in a three-day class action intensive course. A brand-new fictional case file guided attendees through all the stages of a class action to help them develop the practical and strategic decision-making skills necessary to litigate these cases. Thank you to this year’s faculty, JAMS, and the Bigglesworth Family Foundation for all they did to make the Training Institute a success.
