Advancing Justice is a funding partnership established in 2007 between The Chicago Area Foundation for Legal Services (CAFLS) and the CBF. Through this initiative, CAFLS and the CBF award grants to projects that address systemic barriers to access to justice and/or tackle emerging issues in the realm of access to justice by addressing gaps in the legal aid delivery system and/or fostering innovative approaches to increasing access to justice. Advancing Justice represents a combination of the former biannual grant making cycles of CAFLS and the CBF’s Project/Emerging Issues grant cycle.
