Funding for Prairie State Legal Services

Prairie State's Funding Sources

Much of the funding for Prairie State comes from the federally funded Legal Services Corporation. Prairie State is also funded by the Lawyers Trust Fund of Illinois, local United Ways, Area Agencies on Aging, many state, federal, and local funding sources, and private contributions. Some of the funding received by Prairie State is for special projects. This special project funding generally is limited to services to persons living in a certain community, to persons with special needs, or for certain types of legal problems. Such funding may allow Prairie State to serve persons with incomes higher than our general guidelines allow.
