Initiative for Public Interest Law at Yale

http://www.law.yale.edu/stuorgs/initiative.htm

Deadline: February 1, 2008

The Initiative for Public Interest Law at Yale is now accepting applications for one-year grants of up to $30,000 to be awarded in the summer of 2008. The Initiative is a non-profit organization that provides start-up money for projects that protect the legal rights or interests of inadequately represented groups. They fund individuals who are launching new projects, not to provide funding for ongoing work. They fund cutting-edge projects whose successful execution might be a model for other organizations seeking new and better ways to represent clients. While the Initiative may choose to fund one project for the full $30,000 grant amount, in recent years, the Board has often chosen instead to award partial grants ranging from $9,000 to $21,000.

More information about selection criteria, the selection process, application materials, and contacts can be found at the Initiative's Web site above.
