Overview
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.
Who can use this
Low-income Philadelphia residents and return citizens seeking civil legal assistance may benefit indirectly through partner organizations funded by the Foundation. The Foundation itself does not process client applications.
What to bring
- Government-Issued ID (if required by partner organization)
- Relevant Legal Documents
- Court Notices (if applicable)
- Proof of Income (if required by partner organization)
How to apply
Review the Foundation’s website to identify funded legal aid partners and contact those organizations directly for services. The Philadelphia Bar Foundation does not provide direct client intake or legal representation.
Getting there
The mailing address is located at 1101 Market Street in Center City Philadelphia (19107). The location is accessible via Jefferson Station (Regional Rail), 11th Street Station (Market-Frankford Line), and City Hall Station (Broad Street Line). Multiple SEPTA bus routes operate along Market Street and nearby corridors. Note that the organization is currently operating remotely and may not offer in-person services.
Childcare support
There is no publicly stated indication that on-site childcare is provided. Because the Philadelphia Bar Foundation operates remotely and primarily funds partner organizations rather than delivering direct services, individuals should contact the specific legal aid provider they are referred to in order to confirm whether any childcare accommodations, referrals, or scheduling flexibility options are available.
