Eligibility Criteria
- ALF only accepts grant applications from 501(c)(3) charitable organizations under the federal tax code. If you do not hold such a 501(c)(3) status, do not submit an application.
- ALF does not accept grant applications from individuals.
- ALF does not allow “pass through” grants, meaning that they do not accept grants from one organization that is, in turn, meant to be transferred or “passed through” to another organization. This means that they do not allow grants that are intended to be from a “fiscal sponsor” or “fiscal agent” for a third-party organization, even if that other organization is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
- All grant applications must clearly and plainly fit within the Scope of the Rules. Please note that the Scope that refers to “access to justice” is limited to access to civil justice, not criminal justice, and that access is focused on individual families and individuals at 125% of the federal poverty level.
- It is essential that your grant application focus specifically on the permissible Scope under the Rules. Do not simply cut and paste aspects of your organization’s activities that fall outside the permissible Scope under the Rules. Such surplus or overbroad grant application language will not help and will likely hurt your grant application.
