The Impact Fund
Category: Social Change
DescriptionThe Fund is a public foundation that provides grants to nonprofit legal firms, private attorneys, and/or small law firms that seek to advance social justice in the areas of civil and human rights, environmental justice, and/or poverty law. Grants are targeted toward public interest litigation that will potentially benefit a large number of people, lead to significant law reform, and/or raise public consciousness. Topics of interest include social and environmental justice, human and civil rights, and poverty. Of particular interest are projects that address systemic deprivations of constitutional or statutory rights in the following areas: post 9/11 cases involving denial of rights under the guise of “homeland security;” criminal justice and immigration; and education access and equity. The Fund awards grants four times a year; pre-applications are accepted on a continual basis. Additional information is available on the Web site.
