The Pro Bono Grant Program seeks to support the delivery of legal aid services to low income individuals and expand the availability of affordable legal services in underserved communities in Wisconsin.
How to Apply
The Pro Bono Program is soliciting proposals from individuals or organizations for grants to develop or expand pro bono legal assistance projects in their communities. Grant applications are considered on a rolling basis by the
Legal Assistance Committee throughout the year.
The Committee will accept proposals for two types of grants:
- Larger grants (up to $5,000) to establish or expand pro bono projects.
- Mini-grants (up to $500) to purchase products or other items to support existing pro bono projects
Please submit proposals using this form.
Questions about applying and completed applications should be submitted to probono@wisbar.org
Proposals may seek to develop a pro bono program where none have existed or to expand an existing program (e.g., more lawyers involved, expanded target client group, expanded legal issues to be addressed).
The Pro Bono Grant Program is funded by revenue from the Wisconsin Equal Justice Conference (WI EJC)
Registrants from the 2025 WI EJC can find the program materials below. CLE Credit for attendees has been approved by the BBE.
