The American College of Bankruptcy and the American College of Bankruptcy Foundation ("Foundation") seek applications for grants from existing bankruptcy consumer debtor programs or projects. The College and Foundation continue to support programs that counsel or deliver legal services to indigent consumer debtors. They will favorably consider grants to organizations with educational programs for indigent consumer debtors and for volunteer attorneys who wish to provide pro bono indigent consumer debtor legal advice. Facilitating the delivery of effective volunteer bankruptcy legal services to indigent debtors is an essential goal of the College and Foundation pro bono effort.
The College and Foundation will ordinarily not make grants from their limited resources to fee-charging credit counseling or other service providers. A grant applicant should show in its request that its services are free of charge and generally available to indigent consumer debtors.
The College evaluates grant requests quarterly. Each grant request (a) should ordinarily be made no later than March 1 of any calendar for disbursement that year; (b) will be considered in the context of other requests received by the Pro Bono Committee; (c) should ordinarily not exceed $10,000; and (d) should be made on the prescribed application form, showing how it satisfies the criteria stated above.
