Overview
Mission
The primary purpose of the organization is to provide mentorship and financial support for individuals pursuing a legal education.
What it reported doing in 2024
To support these individuals pursuing a legal education, the program will continue to award each scholar $15,000 ("scholarship"). To qualify, each new scholar must be: (1) a u.s. Citizen or permanent resident; (2) be enrolled full-time as a first year law student attending an aba-accredited law school in the u.s.; (3) demonstrate exceptional academic accomplishments and leadership; (4) demonstrate financial need; and (5) intend to practice in the legal private sector following graduation.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
