    About Pennsylvania Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts Board

    Pennsylvania Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts Board directs large-scale funding to free civil legal assistance for low-income and disadvantaged Pennsylvanians, with its biggest recent award going to Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network Inc. for $24,515,910 in 2025. That award sits within a pattern of repeated support for statewide legal aid infrastructure, including another major grant of $22,938,715 to the same organization in 2023. The board’s grantmaking also reaches organizations that handle specific civil legal needs, such as housing, immigration, disability, and workforce legal services. Recent awards include support for Regional Housing Legal Services, Pennsylvania Immigration Resource Center, Justice at Work, Pennsylvania Hias Indigent Immigrant Legal Services, and Disability Rights Pennsylvania. The board also funds legal education and workforce development through law school clinical and externship programs and loan repayment assistance for public interest legal attorneys. Its funding is structured around access to justice, with grants used to provide direct representation, strengthen legal service delivery, and support the institutions that supply civil legal aid across Pennsylvania.

    What Pennsylvania Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts Board Funds

    The board’s core work is civil legal aid. Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network Inc. received $24,515,910 in 2025 for legal assistance, and the same organization received $22,938,715 in 2023 for the same purpose. That scale shows the board’s role in underwriting statewide service capacity. Housing-related legal aid is another clear area of support. Regional Housing Legal Services received $1,170,363 in 2023 and $958,549 in 2023, both for legal assistance. The board also funded Franklin County Legal Services with $290,000 in 2025 and $200,000 in 2023 for legal assistance. Immigration legal services appear repeatedly in the grant list. Pennsylvania Immigration Resource Center received $277,841 in 2025 and $253,808 in 2023, while Pennsylvania Hias Indigent Immigrant Legal Services received $261,706 in 2025 and $220,538 in 2023. These awards fit the board’s access-to-justice mission.

    How Pennsylvania Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts Board Gives

    Typical grant sizes cluster in the low six figures: the 25th percentile is $63,000, the median is $122,000, and the 75th percentile is $177,800. The board’s recent awards also show repeated funding to the same recipients across multiple years, especially statewide and regional legal aid organizations. It operates as a grantmaking board rather than an individual-giving or PRI-making funder. Several program streams are recurring and some are competitive; the law school clinical and externship grants accept unsolicited applications, while some administrative or attachment-based awards do not.
