American Bar Endowment
Category: Violence/Law/Criminal Justice
DescriptionThe Endowment is the philanthropic arm of the legal Organization. The Endowment's Opportunity Grant Program provides funding for new and innovative law-related projects and programs of importance to the public and the legal profession in the United States. Funding is focused on the following areas: 1) enhancing access to justice, especially for vulnerable and underserved populations using innovations to legal services delivery, capacity building, or pro bono service; 2) improvement of the justice system, including ensuring equal justice and elimination of bias; and 3) increasing public understanding of legal rights and responsibilities so people can recognize legal problems and know how to address them. The Grant Program favors programs and projects that serve those who are traditionally underserved or marginalized; address immediate and urgent law-related needs in innovative ways; are not replicated by other organizations in the proposed service area; take advantage of existing and emerging technologies; or might not otherwise be able to obtain timely funding from other sources.
