Mission

PHILADELPHIA VIP LEVERAGES THE POWERFUL RESOURCES OF THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE QUALITY VOLUNTEER LEGAL SERVICES AND ENSURE ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR LOW-INCOME PHILADELPHIANS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

PROVIDE QUALITY VOLUNTEER LEGAL SERVICES AND ENSURE ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR LOW-INCOME PHILADELPHIANS.

  • PHILADELPHIA VIP HAS A 40-YEAR HISTORY AS THE ONLY LEGAL AID ORGANIZATION IN PHILADELPHIA DEDICATED TO SECURING PRO BONO LEGAL ASSISTANCE FOR LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, SMALL BUSINESSES, AND NONPROFITS. VIP WAS CREATED IN 1981 AS A JOINT VENTURE BETWEEN THE PHILADELPHIA BAR ASSOCIATION, PUBLIC INTEREST LEGAL COMMUNITY, AND PRIVATE BAR TO ADDRESS AN OVERFLOW OF CIVIL CASES THAT COULD NOT BE ABSORBED BY LEGAL SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS, AND IMPLICATED ESSENTIAL NEEDS LIKE HOUSING, INCOME, AND FAMILY COMPOSITION. TO THIS DAY, VIP FILLS AN ESSENTIAL "AGENCY OF LAST RESORT" ROLE FOR LOW-INCOME PHILADELPHIANS FACING CRITICAL LEGAL PROBLEMS WHO ARE UNABLE TO RECEIVE LEGAL ASSISTANCE ELSEWHERE. VIP'S CORE ACTIVITY IS RECRUITING, TRAINING, AND PROVIDING ON-GOING SUPPORT TO ITS LARGE, DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF VOLUNTEER ATTORNEYS WHO ADVISE AND REPRESENT VIP'S LOW-INCOME CLIENTS PRO BONO (I.E., AT NO CHARGE). VIP REPRESENTS CLIENTS IN FOUR PRIORITY SERVICE AREAS: (1 ) PREVENTING HOMELESSNESS, (2) SUPPORTING FAMILY STABILITY, (3) PRESERVING INCOME, AND (4) PROMOTING COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THE MAJORITY OF VIP'S CASES ARE REFERRED BY ITS SISTER ORGANIZATIONS, COMMUNITY LEGAL SERVICES AND PHILADELPHIA LEGAL ASSISTANCE. AN ADDITIONAL NUMBER COME FROM PEER ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT PHILADELPHIA OR OTHER SOURCES. TO QUALIFY FOR FREE LEGAL ASSISTANCE, VIP'S CLIENTS MUST BE RESIDENTS OF PHILADELPHIA WITH INCOME AT OR BELOW 300% (400% FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS) OF THE FEDERALLY-DEFINED POVERTY LEVEL. VIP IS AN AGENCY OF LAST RESORT, SUCH THAT CLIENTS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECEIVE LEGAL ASSISTANCE ELSEWHERE, INCLUDING BECAUSE THE CLIENT'S PARTICULAR NEED IS NOT HANDLED BY OTHER LEGAL SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS. VIP'S CLIENTS HAIL FROM ALL PARTS OF PHILADELPHIA AND INCLUDE MANY DEMOGRAPHIC CATEGORIES. THE LARGEST CONSTITUENCIES AMONG CLIENTS REPRESENTED IN 2022 INCLUDED: PEOPLE OF COLOR (90.5%), WOMEN (72.1%), AND SENIORS OVER THE AGE OF 60 (42.8%).BY LEVERAGING THE RESOURCES OF VOLUNTEERS VIP SERVED 1,984 CASES IN 2022, IMPACTING 3,192 PEOPLE, 1,077 OF THEM CHILDREN. VIP RECRUITS, TRAINS, MENTORS, AND PROVIDES ONGOING SUPPORT FOR THOUSANDS OF PROFESSIONALS THROUGHOUT PHILADELPHIA TO PROVIDE PRO BONO LEGAL SERVICES TO VIP'S LOW-INCOME CLIENTS. BY MAINTAINING A LARGE AND DIVERSE BANK OF VOLUNTEERS, VIP RESPONDS TO OTHERWISE UNMET LEGAL NEEDS ON A SCALE FAR EXCEEDING WHAT AN ORGANIZATION'S STAFF COULD ACCOMPLISH ON ITS OWN WITHIN THE SAME BUDGET PARAMETERS.

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.
