Cy Pres Awards

We welcomes Cy Pres awards to support our work. The term Cy Pres is from the French meaning "as near as possible."

Cy Pres awards allow unclaimed settlement funds from class action suits to be distributed to nonprofit organizations that are most likely to pursue the interests of the settlement. Class counsel often has the ability to nominate charitable organizations like NWCLC to receive these funds.
