Philadelphia Bar Foundation
The Philadelphia Bar Foundation is a funding and intermediary organization that supports nonprofit legal aid providers serving low-income Philadelphians. Rather than delivering direct legal representation, the Foundation mobilizes philanthropic resources to strengthen organizations that provide civil legal assistance related to housing, public benefits, family law, and justice-related barriers. Its role is to expand access to justice through strategic grantmaking and community partnerships.
What to expect
The Foundation does not provide direct legal services or intake appointments. Individuals seeking legal assistance will need to contact one of the Foundation’s funded partner organizations. Those partner organizations conduct eligibility screening, intake, and case representation. Communication and coordination may occur remotely.
