Access to justice is more than a noble aspiration, it means working each day to ensure adequate funding for civil legal services for those in need, to improve the effectiveness of our court system, and to provide help to low-income, underserved or special-needs populations. We invest in organizations and projects that help people learn their legal rights, leverage the strength of volunteers to provide assistance, and make a true difference in the lives of those facing problems relating to immigration, domestic violence, homelessness and more. In 2014, the BBF made $825,500 in grants to 23 organizations. We support the programs of the Boston Bar Association that focus on educating and expanding opportunities for Boston students, engaging private attorneys in pro bono service and responding to needs in our community. In 2014, we: Funded jobs for 14 Boston Public School students in the BBA s Summer Jobs program, introducing diverse students to the legal field and giving them the tools they need to succeed professionally.
