Grant Programs
Each year, the Foundation's IOLTA Grants Program awards
approximately $3 million to nonprofit organizations in
Massachusetts whose programs either provide civil legal services to
the state's low-income population, or improve the administration of
justice in the Commonwealth.
To foster careers and volunteerism in public interest law, the
MBF Legal Intern Fellowship Program (LIFP)
awards approximately $36,000 annually in fellowships to
outstanding law students for volunteer internships at nonprofit
organizations providing civil legal services to indigent clients
across the state.
The MBF provides limited funding for outstanding law-related
programs that contribute to its mission, but do not fall within the
IOLTA Grants Program guidelines.
