Training for the future

A $1,000,000 matching grant from enthusiastic ministry friends allows you to help train outstanding Christian law students to defend religious liberty.

In nine years, 710 law students from around the world have participated in the Blackstone Legal Fellowship, receiving intensive training in Christian worldview principles and how they apply to the study and interpretation of law. In addition, they receive hands-on experience working with the legal and public policy allies of ADF. And what a difference it has made.

Blackstone Fellows have gone on to clerk for judges, edit law journals, participate as allied attorneys, and serve as members of our own ADF litigation team.


Recognizing the need to continue training these bright, young law scholars through the Blackstone Legal Fellowship, several ADF ministry friends have stepped forward with a $1,000,000 matching grant. These committed friends recognize the potential for Blackstone Fellows to transform the legal system of America, and they are determined to expand its influence today! Their gift will combine with yours to help us underwrite the entire 2009 Blackstone Legal Fellowship program.

This critical program equips young men and women to lead the ongoing battle for religious freedom – litigating important cases, serving in government agencies, and making influential rulings from the bench. But this training can only continue – and grow! – through your prayers and financial support.

Your gift to this program, combined with the $1,000,000 matching grant, can accomplish so much. We know the economy has seen better days, and things are tight for many people, but this is a great opportunity for your gift to have double the impact thanks to generous ministry friends like you. Your $50 donation becomes $100. A $100 gift turns into $200. Each gift – no matter how large or small - doubles our pace towards our goal.
