WISCONSIN EQUAL JUSTICE FUND INC

Wisconsin Equal Justice Fund, Inc. promotes the availability and public awareness of the need for free legal services to low-income individuals in Wisconsin, secures resources for providers of such services, and distributes resources to tax exempt nonprofit organizations which provide such services.

Wisconsin Equal Justice Fund (WEJF) was founded in 1996 in response to the critical drop in federal funding for civil legal services for low-income individuals and families. WEJF now facilitates an annual appeal and on-going educational efforts on the civil legal services needs of Wisconsin's poor. WEJF is committed to raising money and awareness of civil legal services as a social issue. The three organizations for which we raise funds – Legal Action of Wisconsin, Judicare Legal Aid, and Disability Rights Wisconsin – provide pro bono civil legal aid services to economically disadvantaged citizens across the state in a wide range of practice areas including domestic violence, housing, bankruptcy, unemployment, employment, tribal, veterans, and disability law.
