Funding
The Foundation funds Ohio’s legal aid organizations and access to justice initiatives like Ohio Legal Help and the Ohio Justice Bus to transform the lives of Ohioans working to make ends meet.
Our Mission
To ensure that Ohioans who are low-income or who lack access can fully and fairly participate in civil systems that produce just outcomes. To achieve this we:
- promote access to justice
- fund civil legal aid
- expand legal capacity
- foster innovation
- collaborate with partners to achieve systemic change
