Funders to approach for Illinois Legal Aid Online

Chicago, Illinois$3.6M revenue30 funders on file

Illinois Legal Aid Online (ilao) opens opportunities for justice by educating illinoisans about their rights and connecting them to lawyers, solutions, and each other, especially people for whom the legal system was not designed. Through innovation and allyship, we make the law actionable and accessible. In the u.s., people facing civil legal challenges, such as eviction, debt, domestic abuse, and child support, do not have a right to a lawyer. Justice is scarce for those who need it most. We believe that, with the right knowledge and guidance, people can be their own best advocates. We mobilize people with plain-language, 24/7 tools and services - in two languages - so people can understand and assert their legal rights. Ilao helps people who are unable to find or afford lawyers open opportunities for justice.
