Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part I, line 1, Organization's Mission:The Ohio Legal Assistance Foundation, Inc. (The "Foundation") is a nonprofit Ohio foundation committed to improving access to justice and ensuring that legal aid societies and other resources, programs, and services address the unmet civil legal needs of low income and underserved Ohioans. The Foundation was founded in 1994 as a tax-exempt unincorporated nonprofit association. During 2013, the Foundation's Board of Directors ("Board") elected to transition to a nonprofit corporation. The Foundation filed for incorporation on October 28, 2013 and was subsequently approved as a tax-exempt successor organization by the IRS.
Form 990, Part I, Line 11, Line 19 and Line 22:The Foundation received a nonrecurring payment of $14,269 during FY 2017 (July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017) from the 2014 Bank of America Mortgage Settlement. These funds are restricted and are to be used solely for foreclosure prevention legal assistance or community redevelopment assistance.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4A, Program Service Accomplishments:Grant Administration: As the principal funder of legal aid in Ohio, the Foundation ensures that qualified lawyers are available to represent low-income Ohioans in civil matters. In partnership with legal aid, the Foundation helps ensure that veterans secure the benefits they have earned; seniors preserve their independence and financial security; victims of domestic violence obtain safety and security; and children with disabilities obtain the support they need to succeed in school. Legal aid ensures that these vulnerable Ohioans have a voice in achieving justice for themselves and their families. Critical to the mission of the Foundation is the monitoring of the flow and disbursal of the funds derived from interest on lawyer trust accounts (IOLTA), interest on trust accounts (IOTA), and a civil filing surcharge. In FY 2017 (July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017), the Foundation successfully monitored the distribution of over $17.5 million in funds to the legal aids. As a result of this funding, Ohio's legal aids provided legal information, advice, or representation in nearly 53,000 civil matters. Ohio's legal aids assisted over 114,000 Ohioans, including nearly 5,200 veterans and over 15,000 seniors. The Foundation also provides discretionary grants to support special projects, such as: 1) providing funding to support fellowships that focus on emergent legal needs facing low-income Ohioans; 2) supporting impactful community redevelopment legal services through Neighborhood Stabilization grants from the Bank of America Settlement funds; and 3) supporting the Ohio Elder Justice Initiative through a generous grant from the Ohio Attorney General's Office. Outstanding law graduates with a passion for public service provide a voice for Ohioans through fellowships sponsored by the Ohio Legal Assistance Foundation. The fellowships focus on urgent issues facing individuals and families throughout Ohio. In FY 2017, the Foundation supported 4 fellows in the state. These fellows delivered critically needed civil legal aid to remove barriers to employment; to help children thrive and remain in school; to serve immigrant children and families; and, to uplift communities. Further in FY 2017, the Foundation awarded over $2.2 million in Neighborhood Stabilization grants to support legal services to address community redevelopment throughout Ohio. These grants present an opportunity to make concrete, measurable impacts in specific neighborhoods or areas of Ohio through strategic partnerships with legal aid and community organizations. Finally, through a generous grant from the Ohio Attorney General's Office the Foundation awarded over $360,000 to fund critical legal work to assist older Ohioans. As a result of this funding over 6000 seniors received timely assistance via a Seniors Legal Hotline. An integral part of the Foundation's grant oversight is the regular review of the methods of delivering civil legal aid in order to ensure that resources are optimized. Specifically, the Foundation provides national peer reviews of Ohio's civil legal aids. The Foundation subsequently makes grant dollars available to implement the recommendations derived from the peer review as well as to implement improvements proposed internally by a legal aid's own strategic plan. This includes assisting grantees with a variety of program services, technology upgrades, fundraising and communications. In FY 2017, the Foundation awarded over $208,000 to Ohio's legal aids to address either a need identified in a Foundation implemented peer review or in a grantee's own strategic planning and review process. These program grants are made possible through a generous grant from the Ohio Supreme Court.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4B, Program Service Accomplishments:Legal Services Support: In addition to critical financial support for civil legal aid in Ohio, the Foundation strengthens and expands legal assistance by promoting the recruitment of attorneys with superior skills and qualifications. To this end, the Foundation provides educational loan repayment assistance to attorneys that are employed by Ohio's legal aids. Through this program, the Foundation provides up to $6,000 in annual loan repayment assistance to qualified participants. In FY 2017, the Foundation provided $463,895 in loan repayment assistance through forgivable loans to 86 participants. The loan repayment assistance program has been a vital tool in the recruitment and retention of the best and brightest attorneys, who otherwise due to their student loan debt could not afford to work for legal aid. The Foundation serves as the statewide "voice" for civil legal aid in Ohio. The Foundation educates not only the legal community, but state and national legislators, and the general public about the importance of civil legal aid. In addition, the Foundation partners with Ohio's courts, bar associations, business communities, social service agencies, government, and others to increase the awareness of and build support for civil legal aid in Ohio.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4C, Program Service Accomplishments:Public Funds Compliance: The Foundation works with financial institutions, lawyers, and title agents to enhance revenues received from the interest on lawyer trust accounts (IOLTA), interest on trust accounts (IOTA), and a civil filing fee surcharge which are used to fund legal aid to low-income and underserved Ohioans. Specifically, the Foundation works to ensure that lawyers and title insurance agents properly establish the statutorily required accounts and that financial institutions properly report and remit the interest on such accounts statutorily designed to fund civil legal aid in Ohio.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4D, Program Service Accomplishments:Explanation: Pro Bono: Through 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. 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 to more efficiently and effectively engage volunteers. In FY 2017, the Foundation, in collaboration with the Supreme Court of Ohio, administered the annual, voluntary reporting of Ohio lawyers' pro bono involvement. In addition, the Foundation, through the funding from the court awarded $75,000 in domestic relations pro bono innovation grants. These grants encourage and support innovative pro bono projects that partner legal aid with local domestic relations courts to assist pro se Ohioans navigate the justice system. In April of 2017, the Foundation awarded John P. Gilligan, the Presidential Award for Pro Bono Service, recognizing his outstanding commitment to pro bono work. Mr. Gilligan serves on the board of the Legal Aid Society of Columbus and is past board chair of the Society. Throughout Mr. Gilligan's more than 30-year legal career, he has served as a volunteer attorney, representing countless legal aid clients pro bono.
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 will receive copies of the 990 prior to the 990 being signed and filed with the IRS. The Foundation's most recently filed 990 will be posted on its website.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Foundation's conflict of interest policy & procedures extends to all Directors and to the Foundation's Executive Director and Deputy Director and General Counsel. Each Director and Officer and each member of a committee with governing body-delegated powers must annually complete and sign "The OLAF 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(s). 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 met in FY 2017 and reviewed the Executive Director's compensation. As a basis for comparison, the committee reviewed the executive director compensation for each of Ohio's legal aids using their most recent 990 reports. The committee also reviewed executive director compensation for comparable nonprofit organizations in Ohio and nationally through the use of composite salary surveys. The Board met in executive session at a duly called meeting on June 22, 2017 and per the recommendation of the Executive Committee approved a salary increase for the Executive Director. The Board's salary discussion and vote was 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.OLAF.org. The Foundation makes other documents available upon request.
