Nonprofit Raises $36 Million for Litigation Grants

A nonprofit called the Lawfare Defense Fund has raised $36 million to support individuals and groups who consider themselves unjust victims of the legal system. The organization will use the money to issue grants that cover litigation expenses. Officials have stated that the grants are intended for those facing legal proceedings they view as unfair.

The Lawfare Defense Fund has collected the full $36 million amount through private contributions. Distribution of the grants will focus on covering attorney fees and related legal costs. Recipients will be selected based on criteria set by the nonprofit's board. No specific timeline for grant awards has been released.
