Grant Programs of
The Michigan State Bar Foundation

The Foundation offers grants for law-related educational and charitable programs through our Administration of Justice Grants Program. The priorities for these grants are described in the application packet as follows:

The Michigan State Bar Foundation prioritizes funding of innovative projects that educate Michigan children and adults about their legal rights and responsibilities, the American justice system, and opportunities for conflict and dispute resolution. From time to time, the Foundation also may consider or seek out projects of extraordinary merit in other subject areas related to improvements in the administration of justice.

In addition to the AOJ Grants, the Foundation also provides funding in the area of Civil Legal Services for the Poor. The Foundation also periodically awards grants for civil legal aid to the poor from donations to the Access to Justice Fund (see www.atjfund.org). Check the web page for Access to Justice Discretionary Grants deadline.
