Projects seeking to advance how justice is administered and promote or enhance an understanding of the law will be considered. Historically, the Foundation has chosen to support a project designed to effect substantial impact in central Indiana.
The criteria that applicants must meet to qualify for funding include the following:
Project funding from Indianapolis Bar Foundation may be awarded only to non-profit organizations.
Project benefits the central Indiana community, as a whole, including its impact on the image of the legal profession.
Project presents opportunities for members of the central Indiana legal community to participate on a pro bono or modest means basis.
Project articulates a plan to be sustained by other funding beyond the potential financial award from the Indianapolis Bar Foundation.
Project represents either a new venture for the applicant organization(s) or a plan for significant supplementation to an existing service.
Grant applications are now available online at www.indybar.org and are due by March 1. The chosen project will be unveiled at a special breakfast for Indianapolis Bar Foundation donors on May 30.
In 2011, Indiana University’s Health & Human Rights Clinic located in Haughville was chosen to receive the Impact Grant.
In addition to the Impact Fund, the IBF granted $105,000 earlier this year to a variety of community service programs co-sponsored with the Indianapolis Bar Association. Some of the programs funded include Ask a Lawyer, Legal Line, the publishing of Commonly Asked Questions about Indiana Law, and educational programming at Bench Bar Conference.•
