1.4: Funding
Seek additional funding for legal services work. Other Information:
LSC will work to secure greater resources from two sources. Strategies The federal government Based on the 2005 study of
those that LSC grantees were unable to serve, LSC will seek each year to increase significantly the funding provided by Congress
for the provision of civil legal services to the poor. Also, LSC will work to educate federal agencies seeking to deliver
services to poor people about the capacity and effectiveness of using legal aid providers when the service involves informing
people of their rights or helping to resolve legal disputes. The private sector for projects of national significance While
sensitive to the need not to compete with legal services grantees for private contributions and the need not to impact negatively
federal appropriations, LSC will seek to identify projects of national significance that could merit consideration for funding
from private sources and will explore support for those projects. LSC
