Frequently Asked Questions
— Grants
When are budget modification requests due?

Budget modification requests are due by May 31st of the grant year.

When are audited financial statements due?

Legal aid organizations must submit audited financial statements for the organization’s most recently completed fiscal year no later than October 15th.

May I request an extension for submission of my organization’s audit?

Extensions will not be granted. If your audit is not timely filed, you may provide an explanation which will be shared with the Board during grant deliberations for the following year.

How is the IOLTA Board’s grant funding allocated?

Funds that support grants to legal aid organizations are distributed based on the geographical proportion of people living in poverty (at or below 125% of the federal poverty level) according to the most recent Census data. This method ensures that funds are distributed fairly and supports services where the eligible population resides.
