We cannot Afford to
take all cases
EARN is a nonprofit organization dependent on donations from our supporters. In other words, with limited funds, staff, and resources, we regularly have to make difficult decisions about whether or not to take on a case or project. We reserve the right to pass on any work or case brought to our attention. These are our decisions solely; the factors involved are at our sole discretion; and we are under no obligation to share those factors with anyone outside of EARN.
not all cases are right for us to take
Beyond the financial considerations, we also review new cases and work based on how well it fits our mission and whether or not we can believe 100% in what we will be doing. No doubt, there will be times when someone brings a situation to our attention and believes in pursuing it more than we do. While we respect others' beliefs, we are the sole deciders of whether or not a case or work is right for EARN. We are under no obligation to share our decision process with anyone outside of EARN.
Our opinions are not legal advice
Sometimes, particularly before we agree to work on a case or project, a member of EARN may express an opinion about some aspect or element involved. Regardless of how these opinions might be expressed, be aware that they are not being offered as legal advice and should not be construed as such.
