Additional Information About JCAF

Justice Catalyst Access Fund (JCAF) is a 501(c)(3) that provides flexible, no risk, recyclable, financial support to social impact litigators at scale.

JCAF uses a unique mechanism called the ‘Justice Note’ that allows social impact litigators at nonprofits and law firms to sustainably scale their practice - now. Functioning like a non-recourse line of credit, a Justice Note provides litigators with general operating funds to hire staff, investigate new cases, or otherwise expand cutting-edge charitable impact litigation caseloads. 

JCAF funding is designed to support a broad portfolio of cases, such as a nonprofit’s entire fee-generating litigation docket, or a firm’s full contingency impact practice. We generally do not fund single cases.
