2026 Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge® Report
Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge® Reports examine the pro bono performance of signatories to the Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge initiative. Signatories to the Challenge have committed to contribute 3 or 5 percent (or at a few firms, 60 or 100 hours per attorney) of their annual total paying client billable hours to legal pro bono services as defined by the Challenge and report their performance to the PBI Law Firm Pro Bono Project initiative each year.
The Report showed signs of stabilization in pro bono performed by law firms from 2024 to 2025 with slight declines in some areas offset by encouraging gains in others, including more law firms meeting the Challenge goal and increased charitable giving. Law Firm Challenge signatories reported performing a total of 5.14 million hours of pro bono in 2025.
