The Impact Fund, the only foundation dedicated to providing funding and technical assistance and representation for complex public interest litigation in the areas of civil and human rights, environmental justice and poverty law.

We make grants of up to $25,000 to pay for out-of-pocket costs and expenses of substantial class action and impact cases. We also offer funding, advice and counseling, training, and representation in complex public interest litigation.

Since opening in 1993 it has awarded over $2.8 million in general and donor-advised grants. The primary criteria for funding are financial necessity and broad impact. Class action cases usually meet our impact criteria. Individual cases generally do not.
