Other organizations at this address

1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

This address is a suite or unit (STE 720). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Foundation is a nonprofit Ohio foundation committed to improving access to justice and ensuring that Ohioans who are low-income or who lack access can fully and fairly participate in civil systems that produce just outcomes.

Activities or mission (Part I)

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

  • Legal Services and Access to Justice Support:The Foundation is dedicated to improving access to justice in civil matters for all Ohioans. In addition to serving as the largest funder of civil legal aid in the state, the Foundation funds innovative projects that empower Ohioans who are low-income or who lack access to resolve legal issues in order to live safe, stable, and financially secure lives. From ensuring qualified lawyers are available to address life-changing civil legal issues to increasing the accessibility of trusted legal information and forms, the Foundation supports the 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 $12,718,469 · Grants $11,855,446 · Revenue $11,799,483

  • Public Funds Compliance:The Foundation works closely 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 $307,157

  • Pro Bono and Justice Bus:Through 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 Ohioans across the state. The Foundation is a catalyst for developing new statewide and local pro bono initiatives like the Ohio Justice Bus (the Bus), a mobile civil legal office and technology hotspot which helps rural and low income Ohioans through brief advice clinics. See Schedule O for additional details.

    Expenses $515,747

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
