Solicitation Profile
The Interest on Lawyer Account Fund of the State of New York (IOLA) is now seeking applications for the FY 2020 & 2021 IOLA grant.

The IOLA Fund’s mission is to support those qualified non-profit organizations throughout New York State that will most efficiently and effectively provide stable, economical and high quality civil legal representation to eligible clients, and will improve the administration of justice.

New York State Finance Law 97-v requires the Trustees to allocate no less than 75% of the total grant funds available to qualified civil legal services (“CLS”) providers and no more than 25% of the total grant funds available to programs that improve the administration of justice (“AOJ”). Awards are for general operating support. Subject to certain exceptions and circumstances, persons eligible to receive legal services with IOLA funds are limited to those whose incomes do not exceed 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. See 21 NYCRR Part 7000.14.
