OUR VISION

Because all people deserve equal access to individual safety, security, and opportunity which the civil legal system exists to protect; it is the vision of the Montana Justice Foundation to make justice accessible to all Montanans.

WHO WE ARE

The Montana Justice Foundation is the state’s primary funder of access to justice programs. MJF funded programs provide free legal advice and assistance to low-income Montanans with civil legal needs. The Montana Justice Foundation serves as the charitable arm of the Montana legal community and supports programs that promote access to justice throughout Montana. Currently, two of every five low-income Montanans in need of civil legal aid are turned away, their legal needs unmet.

As the need for civil legal aid increases, MJF is working to expand its funding base to meet the growing needs of its grantees; organizations like the Montana Legal Services Association, the Cascade County Law Clinic, state Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) programs and Domestic Violence Education and Services (DOVES). MJF is primarily funded through its administration of the Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Accounts (IOLTA) program and its cultivation of support from private attorneys, law firms and others interested in the access to justice cause.
