Grants
The Texas Access to Justice Foundation grants funds to nonprofit organizations that
provide civil legal services to low-income Texans. The funds from these grants are
provided through the Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Accounts (IOLTA), Basic Civil
Legal Services (BCLS) and Crime Victims Civil Legal Services (CVCLS) programs. Funds
awarded by the Foundation must be used to provide legal assistance to eligible clients
in non-criminal matters.
TEAJF requires an annual financial audit of each grantee to assure compliance with
the terms and conditions of the grant award. The Foundation endeavors to visit each
program every three years to assess the grantee’s compliance with grant requirements
and evaluate the quality and effectiveness of their operations and services. The
Foundation encourages collaboration among grantees and provides technical assistance
to facilitate improvements in legal services delivery.
For more information about grants or the grantsmaking process, contact
Jonathan Vickery, Director of Grants.
