Many fathers want to be present in their children's lives but lack the legal rights to do so because the legitimation process was never completed. Meme's Legitimation Foundation helps fathers establish legal paternity and connects them with parenting classes, mental health resources and other support.
We invite attorneys and law firms to partner with us — not simply by writing a check, but by investing in responsible fatherhood, family stability and children's access to the resources and legal support they need.
A starting point for solo practitioners, small law firms and attorneys who want to support the mission.
For attorneys and firms that want to make a more substantial investment in family stability and responsible fatherhood.

Available at any sponsorship level, the Legal Community Partner designation recognizes attorneys who contribute their professional expertise in addition to financial support.
Sponsorship does not create an attorney–client relationship, and sponsors are not presented as the attorney for any father who uses our services. All referrals, pro bono arrangements and sponsor recognition respect attorney ethics rules, client confidentiality, conflict-of-interest requirements and applicable nonprofit regulations.
