Board of Trustees.

The Foundation is governed by a board of trustees drawn from across Ohio's legal and civic leadership — appointed by the Supreme Court of Ohio, executive and legislative leaders, bar associations, law schools, and community organizations.

Board leadership guides the Foundation's grantmaking, stewardship, and strategy on behalf of Ohioans who need civil legal help.

This structure keeps the Foundation accountable to the courts, the profession, and the public it serves.
