Lerner & Rowe Gives Back, the nonprofit arm of Lerner & Rowe Injury Attorneys, supports individuals and families in need through charitable giving and volunteer service.
In 2025, the organization distributed more than $2 million to individuals and nonprofit organizations, including $350,000 awarded to Arizona nonprofits through its grant program, according to a press release.
Grant recipients were selected based on community impact, sustainability and alignment with the organization’s mission. Recipients included Ability360, Banner Health Foundation, Dignity Health Foundation, GCU CityServe, Ryan House, Valleywise and Hunkapi.
The Lerner & Rowe Gives Back team also contributed more than 4,200 volunteer hours during the year. Volunteer efforts included packing emergency food boxes for St. Mary’s Food Bank, supporting United Food Bank’s Summer of a Million Meals, assisting Big Brothers Big Sisters at the annual Paul’s Car Wash event, and participating in ALT AZ 93-3’s Pack‑A‑Palooza.
The organization sponsored several community events throughout the year, including LoveUp’s Christmas at the Castle, Phoenix Children’s Foundation’s Off the Record, Make‑A‑Wish Arizona’s Wish Ball, the Cinco de Mayo Phoenix Festival and the PANDA Fashion Show.
Lerner & Rowe Gives Back also hosted its annual Phoenix Charity Golf Classic, which raises more than $1 million to support nonprofit organizations. Presenting sponsors included Pro Performance Chiropractic, Stamp Medical & Chirofit, Collision Chiropractic and Collision Xperts. Proceeds supported nonprofit partners across multiple states and the organization’s Arizona grant awards. The event also included a golf‑equipment donation drive benefiting First Tee Phoenix.
In addition to the tournament, the nonprofit hosted its annual backpack drive and Thanksgiving meal giveaways. In 2025, the organization distributed 6,500 backpacks and 5,600 Thanksgiving meals.
“Through all of our charitable giving channels, we were able to touch the lives of over 3.6 million people in 2025, which is a mind‑blowing number,” said Jordan Moreno, director of charitable giving for Lerner & Rowe Gives Back. “We have such a great team, and I’m thrilled that we continue to report greater impact values each year.”
Kevin Rowe founded Lerner & Rowe Gives Back to teach his daughter, Taylor, the importance of service and community support. The nonprofit focuses on youth programs, health and human services, and public safety.
“When I set out to launch Lerner & Rowe Gives Back, my intention was simple yet powerful: to demonstrate that compassion outweighs status and that true character is defined by how we serve others,” Mr. Rowe said. “Today, with the unwavering support of our dedicated team and community partners, Lerner & Rowe Gives Back has grown into a leading example of what a law firm’s philanthropic commitment can achieve—rooted in humility, driven by impact, and steadily expanding its reach.”
