Through its annual competitive grant process, the Alabama Law Foundation has awarded $3,464,884 in funding for the 2026 Grant Cycle to nonprofit organizations working every day to strengthen access to civil justice across Alabama. These grants support programs that help people facing life-changing legal issues—such as keeping a home, protecting a family, or navigating the court system—often during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Access to justice matters because legal problems do not happen in isolation. When individuals cannot afford a lawyer, the consequences can ripple through families and entire communities. The organizations funded by the Alabama Law Foundation provide critical help where it is needed most, ensuring that fairness, dignity, and the rule of law remain accessible to all—not just those with the means to pay.

This work is made possible through lawyers’ IOLTA funds, which transform pooled client trust account interest into support for civil justice initiatives statewide. Alabama attorneys play a vital role in sustaining this mission and are encouraged to confirm that their trust accounts are held at an eligible bank or, even better, a Prime Partner Bank.
