The Louisiana Bar Foundation is a Louisiana-based nonprofit organized as a 501(c)(3) entity focused on civil legal aid. It serves as the state's principal funder of civil legal aid, partnering with more than 70 organizations to assist families facing non-criminal civil legal challenges. Since 1989, the foundation has distributed more than $111 million to hundreds of Louisiana nonprofits and administers programs such as the State of Louisiana Child in Need of Care Program and the Louisiana Supreme Court's Interest on Lawyers' Trust Accounts Program. Through grants, it supports services for women, children, the elderly, people with disabilities, the newly unemployed, disaster victims, veterans and military families, and others by addressing health, safety, and security needs. Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, the organization operates with a mid-sized team, and recent leadership appointments, including a chief financial officer and an executive director, reflect governance updates.
