Each year the Alabama Law foundation makes grants for law-related charitable projects. A 2006 survey of Alabama’s low-income residents found that only 16% of poor people receive assistance with their legal problems. 80% of grants are to groups that provide free civil legal aid to the poor.
The grant application process begins with the submission of an online grant application. The foundation awards IOLTA grants in three categories:- Programs that provide free legal aid to the poor in civil cases
- Projects to improve the administration of justice
- Law related education
