OHIO LEGAL AID FUNDING SOURCES
Ohio contributes more than $2 for every federal dollar invested through privately-raised dollars, interest earned on lawyer trust accounts, civil filing fees and some limited state general revenue.
Legal aid also sustained more than 700 jobs for Ohioans throughout the state in all sectors.
