Essential expenses should not stand between plaintiffs and the pursuit of justice.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, our mission is to expand access to justice through responsible funding for people with pending legal claims, so they can manage essential living costs during litigation.
Our funding is non-recourse.
If your case does not resolve, you owe nothing under the terms of your funding agreement.

Support at two points in a case.
- Case in progressPre-settlement funding
- Settlement agreement signedPost-settlement funding
- Settlement funds paid
Support before a case settles.
Pre-settlement funding helps a represented plaintiff cover everyday living expenses while the case moves forward.
- Housing
- Utilities
- Food and groceries
- Transportation
A settlement can be reached before payment arrives.
Post-settlement funding helps with essential expenses after a settlement agreement is signed and while the settlement funds are pending.
It helps bridge the gap between agreement and payment, while counsel remains involved.
