Overview
The Alabama Law Foundation, a private charitable organization, aims to enhance access to justice in Alabama by providing financial support for law-related projects. They focus on grants for programs that offer free legal aid to low-income individuals, improve the administration of justice, and promote law-related education. With only 16% of low-income residents receiving legal assistance, the foundation plays a critical role in addressing legal needs and fostering community empowerment through their annual grant initiatives.
The foundation makes annual grants to organizations that provide free legal aid to the poor in civil cases, for projects that improve the administration of justice and for law-related education.
Each year the Alabama Law Foundation makes grants for law-related charitable projects. Eighty percent of grants are to groups that provide free civil legal aid to the poor.
The foundation awards IOLTA grants in three categories:
- Programs that provide free legal aid to the poor in civil cases
- Projects to improve the administration of justice
- Law related education
Eligibility
To be eligible to receive funds from the IOLTA program, an applicant must be a 501©(3) charitable organization.
