IOLA Fund of New York seeks a nonprofit to develop a collaborative governance structure for its Justice Infrastructure Project, supporting civil legal services tools. Grant up to $1M over four years. Application details at www.iola.org.
IOLA seeks to fund the development of an inclusive, collaborative Governance Structure for its Justice Infrastructure Project. The Justice Infrastructure Project’s vision includes the legal services community owning, maintaining, and governing the resulting tools and improvements developed for the civil legal justice ecosystem. This foundation of collaboration requires long-term facilitation of the legal services community to build consensus for optimal use and impact of the tools and other resources developed to make legal services more efficient and effective in New York. IOLA has incorporated the findings and recommendations derived from the stakeholder engagements and Consulting Groups into this Request for Proposals (RFP). The IOLA Fund will award one grant to a nonprofit organization to develop and implement a governance structure to enable the legal service community to collaborate on the fair and equitable use and maintenance of shared tools for civil legal services providers across New York State, including all current IOLA grantees, which would include the Training Center, Comprehensive & Dynamic Legal Services Directory, and the Statewide Knowledge Platform. The grant recipient must actively engage the legal services community in this project and may have existing or planned partnership arrangements. Grant funds may be used to compensate such partners. The IOLA Fund plans to award one Simplified Renewal Agreement which includes a one-year initial period for up to $250,000 and three one-year optional renewals for up to $250,000 for a total amount of $1,000,000, if the options are exercised. Awards are subject to available IOLA funding, the State of New York Contract for Grants, and the IOLA Fund’s appropriation under the NYS Budget. Application and instructions can be found on IOLA's website (www.iola.org) or in the Statewide Financial System (Event ID: IOL-GOV27).
