For 30 years, DC Appleseed has helped make the District of Columbia a better place to live and work. Through in-depth research and analysis, persuasive advocacy, broad collaboration, and forceful litigation, we have taken on some of the District’s toughest problems, developed proposed solutions, and successfully worked to get them adopted and implemented.

Our accomplishments are not just those of a hard-working staff and board of directors. They result from thousands of pro bono hours donated by attorneys, business leaders, nonprofit advocates, and community members. That means that every dollar donated is leveraged many times over, as DC Appleseed engages volunteer expertise to solve the challenges that matter most.
