The Ohio Access to Justice Foundation funds civil legal services and access to justice initiatives to ensure that Ohioans who are low-income or who lack access can fully and fairly participate in civil systems that produce just outcomes.
To be eligible for funding, a prospective grantee must be:
- A nonprofit corporation registered in Ohio; and
- Have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS; and
- Propose a project that supports access to justice or civil legal services for indigent Ohioans.
It is suggested that a prospective grantee first set an introductory meeting with Foundation staff to discuss their work and the nature of their request before they create an account in our grants portal. To schedule an introductory meeting, please email [email protected].
