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 more than $20,000 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.
