What We Do

The Impact Fund is a public foundation dedicated to providing representation, technical assistance and funding for complex, public interest litigation. Through our grants, trainings, and programs, we seek to address systemic problems of social and environmental injustice, human and civil rights and poverty.

Our grants program provides funding for out of pocket expenses in cases with a potential broad impact and a demonstrated financial need.

The Impact Fund's Equal Justice Litigation Program provides direct litigation support as co-counsel and amicus counsel in public interest, class action cases. Our legal team provides advice and counseling on procedural, trial, settlement, attorneys fees and related issues that arise in large scale, public interest litigation, such as class actions. We also conduct training programs and conferences.

In addition to litigating its own cases, The Impact Fund files amicus briefs and produces articles on class action employment and attorneys fees issues.
