MissionLegal Information for Families Today (LIFT) is an award winning non-profit dedicated to empowering unrepresented litigants so that they may successfully self-advocate in the New York Family Courts.MissionDesc

Expense$573,532ExpenseAmt
DescCourt Consultations: Before the coronavirus emergency, LIFTs Staff Attorneys met privately, in person, with clients at the Citys Family Courthouses. These in-depth Court Consultations enable unrepresented litigants to receive vital support in preparing a case. As explained in our accompanying proposal, consultations now take place over the phone or via LIFTs virtual platform, Family Legal Connection, and the demand for this service remains high. At the start of the year, we had set a goal of 1,700 consultations, including 900 initial consultations and 800 follow-up consultations. We ended the year with a total of more than 1,800 which were about evenly divided between initial and follow-up consultations.Desc

DescFamily Law Information Helplines:Through our Telephone, Email and Live-Chat Helplines, LIFT provides family law information as well as referrals to a wide range of services. We exceeded our goal of serving 14,400 people on the Helplines this year. Given the continuous growth in the number and diversity of Helpline participants, LIFT hired, within the past year, two Program Associates who increase the Helplines capacity to serve non-English-speaking callers. Like our long-serving bilingual (Spanish/English) Associate, both new Associates are fluent in Spanish, while one is also able to communicate in Arabic.Over the past three months, given the ongoing limited access to courthouses, calls to LIFTs Helpline have increased in volume as record numbers of clients seek legal information in a remote capacity. In August, we had 1,821 interactions on the Helplines, which was 200 more than the previous record set last January, and 400 more than August 2019. In addition, the Family Court staff and our other partners are referring parents to LIFTs Helpline more frequently than ever before, serving as a crucial entry point to the array of LIFT services. In turn, demand for our other services is also growing.Desc

Expense$352,523ExpenseAmt
DescLegal Resource Guides (LRGs):This year, we continued our work of expanding LIFTs library of more than 40 original, multilingual LRGs, which cover a wide range of family law topics. We distribute copies of the LRGs at our court- and community-based programs, and digital versions are accessible on our website. LIFT created the additional role of Associate Director of Legal Resources for one of our Staff Attorneys to spearhead development of new LRGs. The success of this initiative resulted in our recent completion of LRGs for specific topics and populations, including active military servicemembers, military veterans, and formerly incarcerated people. In addition, LIFT created a resource handbook for the Orthodox Jewish Community in New York City. The primary contents of the handbook are new materials that we developed with funding provided by the David Berg Foundation. These materials include two new Legal Resource Guideson civil divorce and religious divorceas well as a supplement with special considerations for child support within the Orthodox community. We are translating them into Yiddish.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Legal Resource Guides (LRGs):This year, we continued our work of expanding LIFTs library of more than 40 original, multilingual LRGs, which cover a wide range of family law topics. We distribute copies of the LRGs at our court- and community-based programs, and digital versions are accessible on our website. LIFT created the additional role of Associate Director of Legal Resources for one of our Staff Attorneys to spearhead development of new LRGs. The success of this initiative resulted in our recent completion of LRGs for specific topics and populations, including active military servicemembers, military veterans, and formerly incarcerated people. In addition, LIFT created a resource handbook for the Orthodox Jewish Community in New York City. The primary contents of the handbook are new materials that we developed with funding provided by the David Berg Foundation. These materials include two new Legal Resource Guideson civil divorce and religious divorceas well as a supplement with special considerations for child support within the Orthodox community. We are translating them into Yiddish. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Know-Your-Rights Workshops and Community Outreach:LIFT receives numerous requests to present legal education workshops and clinics at local organizations where family law issues are beyond the scope of their services. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Pro Bono Services
