Form 990, Part III, 4a, Legal Service SupportThe Foundation is the largest funder of civil legal aid in Ohio. Civil legal aid provides qualified lawyers to represent low-income and underserved Ohioans in life-changing civil legal matters that impact their ability to live safe, stable, and financially secure lives. Through its grants, the Foundation ensures that Ohio's veterans can secure the benefits they earned through their service; that Ohio's seniors can preserve their independence and financial security; that Ohio's victims of domestic violence can obtain safety and security; that Ohio families dealing with the opioid crisis can achieve stability; and, that Ohio's children with disabilities can obtain the supports they need to succeed in school. By funding civil legal services, the Foundation helps Ohioans live safer, more stable, and more financially secure lives which, in turn, makes Ohio's communities and Ohio itself a better place to live. The Foundation also furthers its mission to improve access to justice by developing new and innovative ways for Ohioans facing legal challenges to access trustworthy, curated legal information and referrals. In the fall of 2019, the Foundation launched Ohio Legal Help to provide all Ohioans with meaningful access to trustworthy, curated legal information regardless of when (during nonregular business hours) or from where (remote, rural locations) someone seeks the information. Ohio Legal Help, now an independent, 501(c)(3) organization, is a consumer-centric website that helps Ohioans find answers to life-changing, civil legal questions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ohio Legal Help has been instrumental in providing Ohioans with real-time legal information to help them with everything from preventing an eviction to applying for unemployment benefits. Also launched in the fall of 2019 was the Ohio Justice Bus. The Ohio Justice Bus is a traveling legal aid office and mobile hotspot that allows pro bono attorneys to advise clients anywhere in the state. The Ohio Justice Bus spent the last year traveling Ohio to bring legal services to rural and more remote Ohioans and ensuring that they, too, can access quality civil legal services to address their legal issues. The Ohio Justice Bus has been critical during the coronavirus health emergency, as it provides a safe and connected way for rural Ohioans to experience virtual clinics and consultations with their pro bono lawyers. The Foundation also funds innovative legal services to catalyze community redevelopment in targeted areas throughout the state through Neighborhood Stabilization Grants. Since 2017, the Foundation has committed over $2M annually to support civil legal work to help revitalize Ohio communities and neighborhoods. In addition, through a generous grant from the Ohio Attorney General's Office, the Foundation also awarded over $200,000 to fund critical legal work to serve older Ohioans at risk of financial abuse and exploitation. Thanks to this crucial funding, thousands of Ohio seniors received timely legal advice and counsel through a statewide, senior legal hotline. The Foundation also funds outstanding law graduates with a passion for public service. These young lawyers serve as Justice for All Fellows in two-year fellowships at civil legal service organizations throughout the state. Fellows focus their work on emergent legal issues which adversely impact low-income and underserved Ohioans. Current Justice For All Fellows are working on issues such as: reducing poverty and homelessness; eliminating barriers to employment; bringing access to legal services to rural and underserved communities; addressing the civil consequences for Ohioans returning from the criminal justice system; working to provide survivors of domestic violence with housing stability; assisting rural Ohioans facing eviction; and, providing legal services to families with children who have behavioral health challenges. The Foundation launched a new Justice for All Summer Clerkship program in 2019 to support minority law students who are insterested in public interest work. The program provides a summer stipend to diverse law students from around Ohio to work for at least 8 weeks at a civil legal aid organization. In its inaugural year, the Foundation funded 10 summer clerks, each representing an Ohio law school and one from NKU. In addition to funding fellows to work on emergency civil legal needs, the Foundation also expands access to justice in Ohio by promoting the recruitment and retention of civil legal aid attorneys with superior skills and qualifications. To this end, the Foundation provides educational loan repayment assistance to attorneys employed by a qualifying Ohio legal service organization. Through this program, the Foundation provides up to $6,000 in annual, educational loan repayment assistance to qualified participants. In FY 2020, the Foundation provided over $666,000 in loan repayment assistance through forgivable loans to 138 participants. The loan repayment assistance program is a vital tool in the recruitment and retention of the best and brightest attorneys, who otherwise, due to student loan debt could not afford to work for a civil legal aid organization. The Foundation also provides responsive funding for legal services in the face of unexpected emergencies. In response to last year's tornadoes, the Foundation, in collaboration with the Ohio State Bar Association and Foundation, funded disaster legal services in the Dayton area and northwest Ohio. Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 health emergency earlier this year, the Foundation granted funding to civil legal service providers to buy computers and other technology equipment to facilitate remote work. Such program improvement grants are made possible through a generous grant from the Ohio Supreme Court. A majority of the Foundation's grant funds are generated by interest on lawyer trust accounts (IOLTA), interest on trust accounts (IOTA), and civil filing fee surcharges. The Foundation is responsible for verifying the amounts paid into those funds monthly. In addition, the Foundation administers other grant funding to support Ohio's civil legal aid societies and to improve access to justice. As noted above, the Foundation ensures that grant funds are utilized to overcome the legal challenges that prevent low-income and underserved Ohioans from living safe, stable, and financially secure lives. Through its grant administration, the Foundation captures measurable outcomes which are utilized to improve and expand both legal services and other efforts to diminish the justice gap. In FY 2020 (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020), the Foundation successfully oversaw the distribution of more than $20.9 million in grants. As a result of the Foundation's funding, Ohio's legal aids provided legal information, advice, or representation in over 53,000 civil matters and assisted over 118,000 Ohioans, including more than 4,400 veterans and nearly 16,000 seniors. Finally, the Foundation educates state and national legislators, as well as the general public about the importance of civil legal aid and the transformative impact that civil legal services can 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 in Ohio.
Form 990, Part III, 4c, Pro BonoThrough a generous grant from the Supreme Court of Ohio, the Foundation works at the statewide level to increase pro bono participation in the delivery of civil legal aid to low-income and underserved Ohioans. The Foundation is a catalyst for the development of new, statewide, and local pro bono initiatives. In addition, the Foundation works to increase the pro bono capacity of existing programs. The Foundation publicly promotes and recognizes pro bono efforts throughout Ohio in order to encourage and grow pro bono involvement. For example, the Foundation, with critical help from the Supreme Court of Ohio, administers and publishes the annual Voluntary Pro Bono Report, which champions the successes and impact of Ohio's pro bono lawyers. The Foundation also presents an annual Presidential Award, to recognize an individual or an organization that has made outstanding efforts to improve access to justice in Ohio. In 2020, the Presidential Award recognized Gerry Greene. Mr. Greene, a volunteer attorney with the Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati, came to the law later in life. After a 33-year career in engineering management with Procter & Gamble, Gerry decided not only to attend law school at age 60, but to use his second career to serve others in need. For 18 years, he has volunteered as a full-time staff attorney at the Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati and handled divorce cases that often involve clients and children who have experienced significant physical and emotional abuse. In his time with legal aid, he has resolved 269 divorce and custody cases, pro bono. The Foundation also collaborates with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio to award pro bono grants to legal aid programs in the Southern District that help low-income and underserved Ohioans navigate the justice system successfully. The programs operate to provide general pro bono legal services in remote rural counties and to increase services available in more populous counties. During the COVID-19 health emergency, the Ohio Justice Bus traveled around the state providing services which ranged from virtual legal clinics to individual client services for wills and healthcare powers of attorney for homebound Ohio seniors.
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. The full Board receives and reviews the 990 prior to the 990 being signed and filed with the IRS. The Foundation's most recently filed 990 is posted on its website.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Foundation's conflict of interest policy and procedures extends to all Directors and to the Foundation's Executive Director and General Counsel and Chief Operating Officer. Each Director and Officer must annually complete and sign "The Ohio Access to Justice Foundation Annual Business Relationship and Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form." Determinations of whether an actual conflict exists are made by the Board through a majority vote which excludes the vote of a potentially conflicted director. No Director or Officer may preside over, vote on, or participate in any deliberation of any matter in which such Director or Officer has a conflict or potential conflict of interest.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15aThe Executive Committee of the Board reviews the Executive Director's performance and compensation annually. As a basis for comparison, the committee reviews executive director compensation for comparable nonprofit organizations in Ohio and nationally through composite salary surveys. The Board meets in executive session at a duly called meeting and per the recommendation of the Executive Committee approves any salary increases for the Executive Director. The Board's salary discussion and vote are memorialized in contemporaneous minutes.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Foundation makes its governing documents available to the general public. Its annual business relationship and conflict of interest disclosure policy and procedure, annual report, and latest form 990 are posted to its website, www.ohiojusticefoundation.org. The Foundation makes other documents available upon request.
Form 990, Part VIII, Line 1fThe Foundation oversees the disbursement and grant of funds generated by interest on lawyer trust accounts (IOLTA), interest on trust accounts (IOTA), and civil filing fee surcharges. These funds are listed on Part VIII of the Form 990 as other contributions on line 1f. The money is passed through the state of Ohio, but is derived from individual lawyer trust accounts, title agent accounts, and individual civil filings in courts throughout the state of Ohio.
Part XII, Line 2c:The process has not changed from the prior year.
