About this grant
IOLA's mission is to support qualified non-profit organizations throughout New York State that will most efficiently and effectively provide stable, economical, and high quality civil legal representation to eligible clients to improve the administration of justice. IOLA seeks to strengthen the civil legal ecosystem across New York State by providing general operating grants to nonprofit organizations working to increase the ability of underserved, low-income communities to obtain legal information, advice and/or representation for their civil legal problems. Grant awards will be for general operating expenses and may be utilized for strengthening organizational administration, infrastructure, or technology. The IOLA Fund plans to award Simplified Renewal Agreements up to a total of $2.5 million with a fifteen-month initial period and two twelve-month optional renewals for up to a total of $2.5 million, for a total of up to $7.5 million, if all options are exercised. Individual grant awards for the initial term are expected to range from $50,000 to $200,000. Each award will be expected to allocate at least $5,000 for staff training and for attendance at any IOLA sponsored convenings. Awards are subject to available IOLA funding, the State of New York Contract for Grants, and the IOLA Fund's appropriation under the NYS Budget.
