apply for a foundation grant!


NALS Foundation Grants --Your $$$ at Work
Since 1992 the NALS Foundation has pursued its mission to ensure top-notch legal services by funding quality education programs for legal professionals. One of our strategies to accomplish this mission is our quarterly grant program—designed to assist all NALS chapters, state associations, and regions.  Applying for a grant is a simple two step process. 

Step One: Decide on a project!
Grants will be awarded for programs which support certification, education, marketing, membership, and/or technology. Applicants are encouraged to develop new and exciting programs—but it does not have to be a new program!  Need program ideas? Check out our extensive program idea bank for award winning, successful programs:

Step Two: Complete the on-line grant application!
Outline your proposal by completing the easy on-line application form and answering each question as thoroughly as possible. To qualify for consideration all requested information must be included with the application. When your application has been completed simply click on the submit button to automatically, electronically submit your grant proposal.  The deadlines for receipt of proposals are:

  • March 1
  • June 1
  • September 1
  • December 1

You CAN receive a grant -  it’s that easy!

So what’s the catch?
There is no catch!  All grant proposals will be reviewed by the NALS Foundation Board of Trustees and grants will be awarded at the discretion of the Board. The only two things the NALS Foundation requires in return are:

  1. The grant recipient’s participation in a post project follow-up interview and/or report.          
     
  2. All marketing and distributed materials relating to the funded program must include the Foundation Logo with the following statement, “This project was made possible through a grant from the NALS Foundation.” Downloadable statements with the logo are available.

If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Reed at reed@nals.org or call her at the NALS Resource Center 918-582-5188 ext. 23.

Applications may also be mailed to the NALS Foundation at 8159 East 41st Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74145.
