The five-member IOLTA Grants Committee meets twice a year. The Bar Foundation’s IOLTA Grants Program is a competitive grant process that provides funding to New Hampshire nonprofit organizations that provide civil legal services to the disadvantaged, law-related education, and other projects approved by the NH Supreme Court. For the FY2009 grant cycle (6/1/08-5/31/09), $1.7 million was awarded to eleven of the fifteen organizations that applied for funding.

Additional information about the IOLTA Grants Program is available online at www.nhbarfoundation.org.
