The Michigan State Bar Foundation aims to enhance the justice system through leadership and financial support. Since its inception, it has awarded over $210 million in grants, primarily supporting nonprofit civil legal aid to ensure equitable access to justice for all. The Foundation focuses on legal aid for the underserved, educating the public on legal rights and the justice system, and promoting conflict resolution outside the courtroom.
The Administration of Justice Grants Program from the Michigan State Bar Foundation focuses on projects that promote the improvement of the justice system. This includes law-related education, conflict resolution, and enhancing the delivery of civil legal aid to those in need. Priorities of the program include educating Michigan residents about their legal rights and the American justice system, providing opportunities for resolving disputes outside of court, and supporting civil legal aid for the impoverished. Innovative projects that align with these goals are favored, with an emphasis on those that bring unique contributions to the administration of justice, such as developing Medical Legal Partnerships or enhancing law-related educational resources. The average funding amount for these project-based grants is between $12,000 and $15,000.
