Overview

Mission

To increase access to justice for all by providing basic legal services and legal education to the most vulnerable in society.

What it reported doing in 2024

Access justice operates weekly/monthly legal clinics where volunteer attorneys provide clients who have no hope of a voice in or understanding of the daily proceedings of the legal system with 45-60 minutes of pro bono legal advice and counsel. Access justice's volunteer attorneys provide clients with information as to their rights and empower them to prepare and file documents and pleadings, and negotiate to protect their rights. If matters need further support outside of the clinic setting, access justice refers clients to a network of attorneys who have agreed to take referrals from the organization. Professionals provided in-kind legal services totaling $433,375 to clients during the year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
