What We Fund
The Illinois Equal Justice Foundation supports innovative, cost-effective civil legal aid programs that help people in crisis address life-changing problems and improve their lives. These programs offer:
To maximize our impact, we fund both large organizations that provide a breadth of legal aid services, as well as community based groups who bring the law to where people live.
We currently manage three state appropriations for civil legal aid, in addition to two state contracts for housing legal services.
