Grants to Illinois nonprofit organizations to assist low-income residents in hiring an attorney. Priority will be given to services that will cater to families in crisis as well as elderly residents. Funding is intended to support staff positions at legal services providers, including paralegals, attorneys, and pro bono coordinators.
The IEJF grants will focus on two priority areas:
Grants will be made to support staff positions at eligible legal services providers. Grant funds can be used to pay for salaries, benefits, and limited overhead costs (10%) directly related to supporting the position. The applicant must demonstrate how the proposed staff position will help the organization provide efficient and effective legal assistance to persons in one or both of the priority areas.
Grant applications in the Civil Legal Assistance category will be evaluated based on demonstrated need for the proposed services, as reflected in the number of eligible clients in the applicant’s service area; current unmet demand; and requests for assistance from other community agencies serving the target populations.
