Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

OneJustice's mission is to strengthen the legal services sector's expertise and capacity to advance justice and equity.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Strengthen the legal services sector's expertise and capacity to advance justice and equity.

  • Pro Bono Justice Program: During Fiscal Year 23-24, OneJustice brought together more than 79 legal aid organizations, law firms and corporations to address emerging needs, highlight successful pro bono models, and strategize on the effective management and strategic deployment of volunteer resources. OneJustice's annual California Pro Bono Conference, webinars, and strategy meetings throughout the year covered topics, such as artificial intelligence, data-driven decision-making, and amplifying the legal aid and pro bono community's collective impact in delivering justice for California's underserved communities. OneJustice also offered resources, training and consulting on best practices and innovative uses of technology to expand pro bono services to underserved communities. For example, OneJustice's Remote Clinic Toolkit, developed in 2020 to help legal services organizations pivot to a remote service model, has been shared with over 120 legal services organizations across 25 states. OneJustice also partnered with rural legal aid organizations in California to increase the community's awareness of legal clinics, recruit and train volunteers, and manage and evaluate legal clinics. Through its Pro Bono Training Institute, OneJustice trained over 1,500 individuals from law firms, legal aid organizations, law schools, and universities on critical legal topics, including housing, asylum, and disaster relief. Since its inception, the Pro Bono Training Institute has strengthened the skills and expertise of more than 11,500 volunteers. OneJustice offered a training program for volunteers who have recently joined or are interested in joining the boards of legal aid organizations. Training topics included: alignment with organizational mission, vision, and theory of change; advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion; board governance and recruitment; and financial oversight.

    Expenses $1,715,820 · Revenue $12,867

  • Healthy Nonprofits Program: During Fiscal Year 23-24, OneJustice provided training, resources, and consultations to over 100 legal services organizations that serve more than 600,000 individuals per year, with the goal of optimizing their performance and community impact. OneJustice completed the fourteenth year of its Executive Fellowship program, an intensive 10-month program on nonprofit leadership and management. OneJustice trained leaders from 31 legal services organizations in California, Michigan, Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. OneJustice also provided support and consulting to legal aid organizations on management issues and facilitated the sharing of best practices through leadership retreats. OneJustice offered training programs for legal services organizations to maximize the impact of legal services, including consumer protection and immigration legal services. In addition, OneJustice offered programming to legal services organizations across California on essential topics, such as effective data practices in homelessness prevention, program evaluation, budgeting and financial management, advancing equity in board leadership, and leadership succession planning. OneJustice supported public policies that increase access to legal services for low-income Californians. OneJustice advocated on state and federal bills that would impact low-income Californians. In addition, OneJustice advocated for the importance of civil legal aid with legislators.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
