Civil legal aid providers have made great strides in recent years in expanding their funding base beyond funding from the national Legal Services Corporation (LSC). Since 1991, the legal aid community has roughly doubled its funding. While LSC funding has remained relatively level during this period, there is five times as much non-LSC funding.

The ABA's Standing Committee on Legal Aid and Indigent Defendants provides a state-by-state composite of funding sources available for civil legal representation. This section of the Web site provides viewers with detailed information regarding the primary sources of non-LSC funding that have been developed across the country, including:

• Interest On Lawyers' Trust Accounts (IOLTA)
• State Funding
• Foundation Grants
• Non-LSC Federal Funding
• Private Bar Campaigns
• Other Funding Sources
