SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
Since 2014, Congress has provided an
annual appropriation to LSC ‘‘for a Pro
Bono Innovation Fund.’’ See, e.g.,
PO 00000
Frm 00106
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
69343
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017,
Public Law 115–31, 131 Stat. 135
(2017). LSC requested these funds for
grants to ‘‘develop, test, and replicate
innovative pro bono efforts that can
enable LSC grantees to expand clients’
access to high quality legal assistance.’’
LSC Budget Request, Fiscal Year 2014 at
26 (2013). The grants must involve
innovations that are either ‘‘new ideas’’
or ‘‘new applications of existing best
practices.’’ Id. Each grant would ‘‘either
serve as a model for other legal services
providers to follow or effectively
replicate a prior innovation. Id. The
Senate Appropriations Committee
explained that these funds ‘‘will support
innovative projects that promote and
enhance pro bono initiatives throughout
the Nation,’’ and the House
Appropriations Committee directed LSC
‘‘to increase the involvement of private
attorneys in the delivery of legal
services to [LSC-eligible] clients.’’
Senate Report 114–239 at 123 (2016),
House Report 113–448 at 85 (2014).
Since its inception, the Pro Bono
Innovation Fund has advanced LSC’s
goal of increasing the quantity and
quality of legal services by funding
projects that more efficiently and
effectively involve pro bono volunteers
in serving the critical unmet legal needs
of LSC-eligible clients. In 2017, LSC
built on these successes by creating
three funding categories to better focus
on innovations serving unmet and welldefined client needs (Project Grants), on
building comprehensive and effective
pro bono programs through new
applications of existing best practices
(Transformation Grants), and on
providing continued development
support for the most promising
innovations (Sustainability Grants). In
2021, LSC created Non-Direct Service
Project Grants to fund organizations to
develop and implement innovative
solutions to pro bono challenges that do
not involve providing direct legal
services to clients. In 2022, LSC created
a new funding category to provide
organizations with resources to plan and
establish a strong foundation (Planning
Grants). Planning Grants will be
available on a pilot basis in the 2023
funding cycle to select organizations.
II. Funding Opportunities Information
A. Eligible Applicants
To be eligible for the Pro Bono
Innovation Fund’s Project,
Sustainability, and Transformation
grants, Applicants must be current
grantees of LSC Basic Field-General,
Basic Field-Migrant, or Basic FieldNative American grants. In addition,
