The Nevada Bar Foundation is responsible for the management of the statewide Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTA) program. We work with and thank the financial institutions who offer IOLTA accounts in Nevada. Interest earned on these accounts fund annual IOLTA grants that support civil legal needs services.
The NBF encourages the solicitation and acceptance of gifts for the purpose of furthering and fulfilling our charitable mission and has adopted a Gift Acceptance Policy to assist in charitable giving options.
In addition to supporting Nevadans through IOLTA grants, the Nevada Bar Foundation engages the legal community in fundraising efforts to support law related education and pro bono legal services. Donations to the NBF are accepted online and may be dedicated to support pro bono legal services or law related education; unrestricted donations are also appreciated.
The Nevada Bar Foundation supports the community, primarily through two annual grant programs. The IOLTA grant program provides funding for direct legal services and the Foundation Grant program awards funding for initiatives that promote legal education, spark youth interest in the law, support minority lawyers, and that promote delivery of legal services.
