Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Foundation improves access to justice, funding civil legal aid and other programs.

  • Legal Services and Access to Justice SupportThe Foundation is charged with improving access to justice in civil matters for all Ohioans. In addition to being the largest funder of civil legal aid in the state, the Foundation also funds innovative projects which help low-income and underserved Ohioans live safe, stable, and financially secure lives. From increasing accessibility of trusted legal information and forms to ensuring qualified lawyers are available to address life-changing civil legal issues, the Foundation funds critical programs, services, and resources needed to ensure that all Ohioans can overcome legal hurdles and thrive in their communities. See Schedule O for additional details.

    Expenses $8,112,496 · Grants $7,153,134

  • Public Funds ComplianceThe Foundation works with financial institutions, lawyers, title agents, and courts to ensure compliance with Ohio's laws governing Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTA), Interest on Trust Accounts (IOTA), and civil filing fee surcharges. The Foundation also works to enhance revenue received from those accounts. Specifically, the Foundation assists lawyers and title insurance agents to properly establish and maintain statutorily required accounts and assists financial institutions and courts to remit and report interest and civil filing fees properly in order to fund civil legal aid and improve access to justice in Ohio.

    Expenses $288,301

  • Pro Bono and Justice BusThrough a generous grant from the Supreme Court of Ohio, the Foundation works to increase pro bono volunteerism by attorneys, paralegals, and law students to deliver civil legal services to low-income and underserved Ohioans across Ohio. The Foundation is a catalyst for developing new statewide and local pro bono initiatives like the Ohio Justice Bus, a mobile civil legal office and technology hotspot which helps rural and underserved Ohioans through brief advice clinics. See Schedule O for additional details.

    Expenses $327,386

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.
