About International Center for Not-For-Profit Law
The largest recent grant from International Center for Not-for-profit Law Inc was $502,162 to the American Bar Association Fund for Justice & Education in Chicago for work to improve the competence of Tajikistan's judiciary and law profession. That award reflects how the foundation uses grantmaking to support legal and institutional capacity tied to civic space and public participation. Its stated mission is to strengthen civic space by working with civil society, governments, and international partners to protect and advance the legal environment for civil society, philanthropy, and public participation worldwide. The foundation also funded the Regents of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis with $10,750 for UNSR work addressing the impact of counterterrorism on civic space. Together, those grants show a mix of judicial capacity building, rule-of-law work, and policy research rather than a narrow local program. The organization’s public focus areas include civic space, civil society law and regulation, philanthropy and giving, human rights, digital civic space, and legal reform and policy. Its topical taxonomy also points to bar and bench training, counterterrorism oversight and reform, and protection of freedoms of assembly, expression, and association.
What International Center for Not-For-Profit Law Funds
In judicial capacity building, the foundation made a $502,162 grant to the American Bar Association Fund for Justice & Education for improving the competence of Tajikistan's judiciary and law profession. That same grant links its legal reform work with beneficiary groups such as judges, courts, lawyers, and bar associations. On counterterrorism policy, it gave $10,750 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to support UNSR work addressing the impact of counterterrorism on civic space. The active program list also shows consultancy and call-for-proposals activity tied to civic freedoms, including country reporting, civic freedom monitoring, and support for civil society in development co-operation and humanitarian assistance. Across these areas, the foundation’s work consistently centers on legal and policy conditions for civil society rather than direct service delivery.
