Following an application process, the Maine Justice Foundation Grants, Programs & Policy Committee reviewed all qualified applications and made funding recommendations to the Board of Directors this September that were unanimously approved, according to a news release from the Augusta-based foundation.
The 2023 grantees are the Maine Volunteer Lawyers Project, the Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project, and Legal Services for the Elderly. The programs funded by the 2023 grants ensure access for vulnerable Mainers by supporting a variety of civil legal services including family law, employment law, small claims court, elder abuse, eviction defense, protection from abuse matters and immigrant legal services.
