The Colorado Lawyer Trust Account Foundation (COLTAF) is proud to announce more than $2.1 million in competitive grants to organizations working every day to expand access to justice for Coloradans.

These grants support a diverse network of nonprofit legal organizations, pro bono programs, and statewide partners that help Coloradans navigate life-changing civil legal issues, including housing, family safety, immigration, public benefits, consumer protection, and more.

Together, these organizations provide free and low-cost civil legal services, recruit and support volunteer attorneys, and help ensure that legal help is available to people across Colorado, regardless of where they live or what challenges they face.

“Each of these organizations plays a vital role in ensuring that Coloradans can access the civil legal help they need. COLTAF is proud to invest in partners whose work strengthens communities, expands access to justice, and changes lives across our state,” said Jordan Bates-Rogers, Executive Director of COLTAF.

Every COLTAF grant represents the power of Colorado’s IOLTA program to turn trust account interest into meaningful investments in civil legal aid, pro bono services, and access to justice across the state.

“Thank you to all of our Prime Partner banks, who voluntarily pay above-market interest rates on COLTAF accounts, helping generate additional funding for civil legal aid and pro bono programs throughout Colorado,” said Jordan. “Lawyers and LLPs who want to support programs like these can do so by choosing a Prime Partner for their COLTAF account.“

Access to justice is a collaborative effort. COLTAF is proud to partner with these outstanding organizations and grateful to the Prime Partner banks, lawyers, LLPs, and everyone who supports COLTAF’s mission. Together, we are strengthening access to justice for all Coloradans.
