Statewide Legal Services Grant

This non-competitive grant is awarded annually to the Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network, Inc.

PLAN, Inc. is an administrative and support agency that also receives annually-appropriated Commonwealth and federal block grant funding through a contract with the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. Except for funds to cover its own administrative budget, PLAN, Inc. subcontracts all funding to seven legal aid organizations that provide a full range of civil legal aid for the indigent and victims of abuse and six projects focused on specialized areas of the law or clients with special needs.

Other Legal Services Grants

These competitive grants – often referred to as “zone grants” – support the delivery of specialized legal services to targeted groups of people such as seniors, those living with a disability, and victims of domestic violence.

Funding is allocated to geographic zones based on the proportion of people living in poverty throughout the state. Applicants compete for funds in the zone where the proposed services would be delivered. Learn more about the geographic boundaries of our funding zones by viewing the IOLTA Funding Zone Map.
