Form 990, Part III, 4a, Legal Service Support:Recognized by the Supreme Court of Ohio as the official access to justice entity for the state, the Foundation collaborates with the Court and other statewide justice partners like the Ohio Judicial Conference and the Ohio State Bar Association to make Ohio a more just and equitable community. The Foundation is the largest funder of civil legal aid in Ohio. Civil legal aid provides skilled lawyers to help low-income and underserved Ohioans address life-changing civil legal matters that impact their ability to live safe, stable, and financially secure lives. For example, the Foundation provides grants to ensure that veterans can secure the benefits they earned through their service; seniors can preserve their independence and financial security; survivors of domestic violence can achieve safety and security; families suffering due to substance abuse disorders can achieve stability; and children can access the supports they need to succeed in school. In addition, in FY23, the Foundation granted over $1 million help Afghan evacuees resettled in Ohio stabilize themselves and their families. The Foundation also supports legal assistance for Ohioans addressing debt, record sealing, and drivers' license reinstatements, which helps individual Ohioans and strengthens Ohio's workforce. In FY23, the Foundation successfully oversaw the distribution of more than $21.9 million in Interest on Lawyer's Trust Accounts (IOLTA), Interest on Trust Accounts (IOTA), and filing fee revenue. As a result of the Foundation's funding, Ohio's legal aids provided legal information, advice, or representation in almost 59,000 civil matters and assisted over 135,000 Ohioans, including roughly 3,800 veterans and 17,000 seniors. The Foundation also furthers its mission to improve access to justice by developing new and innovative services to help Ohioans facing legal challenges. The Foundation funds Ohio Legal Help, an independent nonprofit organization which operates a state-of-the-art web portal that provides all Ohioans with meaningful access to reliable legal information and trustworthy legal referrals. Ohio Legal Help is available 24 hours a day in all 88 counties. During FY23, Ohio Legal Help served more than 750,000 Ohioans across the state. Additionally, the Foundation funds Neighborhood Stabilization Grants which catalyze community redevelopment in targeted communities around Ohio. Since 2017, the Foundation has disbursed over $12.5 million to support transactional legal work to empower Ohioans and their local community groups to revitalize their neighborhoods. Neighborhood Stabilization Grants have supported the development of new businesses, the implementation of solar power, and the restoration of affordable housing. Through a generous Victim of Crime Assistance grant from the Ohio Attorney General's Office, the Foundation also awarded over $125,000 to serve Ohio seniors at risk of financial abuse and exploitation. Thanks to this crucial funding, thousands of Ohio seniors receive timely legal advice and counsel through a statewide senior legal hotline. Further, the Foundation supports outstanding law graduates with a passion for public service by funding two-year fellowships to address emergent legal needs. These young lawyers serve as Justice for All Fellows at civil legal service organizations across Ohio. Fellows focus their work on legal issues which adversely impact low-income and underserved Ohioans. During FY23, Justice for All Fellows helped children of color improve educational successes and reduce referrals to juvenile court; increased generational wealth and home ownership for Black Ohioans; assisted asylum seekers to achieve permanency and security; and protected Ohio seniors from elder abuse. The Foundation also funds the Justice for All Summer Clerkship program to support law students of color interested in pursuing careers in civil legal services. The program grants funding to civil legal aid organizations to pay summer law clerks. Through this program, law students of color gain invaluable legal experience while addressing the critical legal needs of low-income and underserved Ohioans. In addition to funding fellows to work on emergent civil legal needs, the Foundation expands access to justice in Ohio through its Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP). The Foundation's LRAP promotes the recruitment and retention of civil legal aid attorneys with superior skills and qualifications. The LRAP provides up to $6,000 in annual educational loan repayment assistance to attorneys employed by qualifying Ohio legal aids. In FY23, the Foundation provided 16 participants over $70,000 in loan repayment assistance for private educational loans not subject to the federal forbearance provisions. The LRAP is a vital tool in recruiting and retaining the best and brightest attorneys who, due to student loan debt, would otherwise be unable to afford to work for an Ohio civil legal nonprofit organization. Thanks to the generous support of the Supreme Court of Ohio, the Foundation also conducts assessments of Ohio's civil legal aid organizations to ensure the provision of high-quality legal services. In addition, the Foundation utilizes funding from the Supreme Court of Ohio to support the continuing expansion and improvement of Ohio Legal Help, Ohio's civil legal aid organizations, and pro bono engagement around the state. The Foundation also administers other grant funds directed at supporting Ohio's civil legal aid societies and access to justice. As noted above, the Foundation ensures that the grant funds help low-income and underserved Ohioans overcome legal challenges so they can live safe, stable, and financially secure lives. Through its grant administration, the Foundation captures measurable data to improve legal services and diminish the justice gap. Finally, the Foundation educates state and national legislators and the public about the importance of civil legal aid and the positive and transformative impact that civil legal services have on people's lives. To that end, the Foundation is honored to partner with Ohio's courts, bar associations, businesses, governmental agencies, social service agencies, and others to increase the awareness of and build support for civil legal aid and access to justice in Ohio.
Form 990, Part III, 4c, Pro Bono and Ohio Justice Bus:Through a generous grant from the Supreme Court of Ohio, the Foundation works at the statewide level to increase pro bono participation in delivering civil legal services to low-income and underserved Ohioans. The Foundation is a catalyst for the development of new, statewide, and local pro bono initiatives. One of these successful initiatives is the Ohio Justice Bus. During FY23, the Ohio Justice Bus traveled to 54 counties to host events including legal outreach, education, and brief advice for communities in need of civil legal services. The Bus operates recurring monthly clinics in Adams, Clermont, and Delaware counties, and recurring quarterly clinics in Ashtabula and Summit counties. Volunteer attorneys provide legal advice at these events, addressing issues ranging from divorce and custody to record sealing and certificates of qualification for employment. In addition, the Foundation works to increase the pro bono engagement. The Foundation publicly promotes and recognizes pro bono efforts throughout the state to encourage and grow pro bono involvement. Thanks to critical help from the Supreme Court of Ohio, the Foundation recognizes graduating law students for their pro bono efforts and administers and publishes an annual Pro Bono Report, which measures and champions the successes of Ohio's pro bono lawyers. The Foundation also presents an annual Presidential Award to recognize an individual's or an organization's outstanding efforts to improve access to justice in Ohio. In 2023, the Foundation presented the award to Attorney Misty Connors. Connors volunteers with Legal Aid of Western Ohio (LAWO). Connors has volunteered with LAWO since 2015. During her years of volunteer work, Ms. Connors provided pro bono legal services to a remarkable 160 Ohioans. The Foundation also collaborates with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio to award pro bono grants to help low-income and underserved Ohioans in the Southern District of Ohio successfully address their legal challenges. The clinics supported by the grants provide pro bono legal services in remote, rural counties and increase the capacity for services in more populous counties.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Foundation's Audit Committee, through delegation by the Board, reviews and approves a final draft of the 990.
