Community Grants

Each year PILF awards three to five grants to not-for-profit organizations that provide legal services to communities in need. Grant amounts range from $1,000 to $15,000, depending on the availability of funds and the nature of the proposed project. Since its inception in 1980, PILF has provided over $550,000 to public interest legal organizations across the country. We are particularly interested in funding innovative projects that would not be undertaken without a grant and in helping established projects that suffer from a funding shortage.
