About this organization
Mission
The Wisconsin Trust Account Foundation works with civil legal aid organizations in Wisconsin to increase access to justice. We oversee funds and invest in services and projects to help people resolve legal problems.
About
In 2018, the foundation made 'direct legal services/foundation' grant awards (PILSF, pro hac vice, IOLTA) to fifteen legal services agencies to assist low-income individuals and families with civil legal needs, in areas such as family, housing, employment, disability, and consumer law. No revenues are derived directly from these activities. Administrative costs to administer the foundation's grant programs are funded by the interest on lawyers trust accounts (IOLTA) program (in accordance with Wisconsin Supreme Court rules Chapter 13), and portions of other revenue sources - based on a written cost allocation policy/calculation.
