Legal Aid of Western Missouri, founded in 1964, is a mid-sized nonprofit in the Crime & Legal sector that reported $13.1M in total revenue in fiscal year 2023. Revenue fell 75% from the prior year — a significant decline worth monitoring. Expenses of $12.1M left a modest 8% surplus.

Mission

Every day, Missourians are denied access to the basic rights to which they are entitled under the law, simply because they cannot afford an attorney. Legal Aid provides free civil legal assistance to people who need it most and can afford it least within a 40-county area where 300,000 people live in poverty.
