Where the money comes from
Technology funding can come from grants you already pursue, rather than a new line in the operating budget. These are the places to start the conversation.
LSC TIG and SEA grants
The Legal Services Corporation's Technology Initiative Grants (TIG) exist to fund exactly this kind of technology, and other LSC grant streams can support the staff time and rollout around it. If you are an LSC grantee, JTAI fits squarely inside a TIG proposal.
IOLTA and bar foundation funds
State IOLTA programs and bar foundations regularly fund access-to-justice and efficiency projects. A grounded AI platform that helps your staff serve more people is an easy story to tell a funder focused on impact per dollar.
Cy pres awards
Class-action cy pres distributions are often directed to legal services and access-to-justice work. JTAI is a fundable, one-time-plus-ongoing use of a cy pres award that leaves lasting capacity behind.
Private foundations
Local and national foundations that fund legal aid, civil rights, and technology-for-good are natural fits. We can help you frame JTAI against a foundation's specific priorities.
Funding programs and eligibility change. We help you check fit for your organization, but confirm current guidelines with each funder before you apply.
The TIG-Ready Package
Everything you need to put JTAI into a grant application, drafted for legal services organizations and ready to adapt to your program.
Grant narrative
A ready-to-adapt project narrative describing the JTAI deployment, the problem it solves, and the outcomes you can commit to.
Budget template
A line-item budget you can drop into a TIG or foundation application, with realistic figures for licensing, setup, and staff time.
Evaluation plan
A measurement plan with concrete metrics and a data-collection approach, so your proposal shows a funder exactly how you will prove impact.
Written for TIG. Adaptable to IOLTA, bar foundation, and private foundation applications.
