The board of directors of FFLA has approved a general distribution of $89,748,976 in Interest on Trust Account (IOTA) funds to 35 Florida legal aid organizations.

Organizations must use the grant money within calendar year 2025. At its December 6, 2024, meeting, FFLA also approved using $3,636,425 in IOTA funds for its Pro Bono Support and Enhancement grant program. FFLA is the designated administrator of the Supreme Court’s IOTA program.

Bob Pardo: ‘This funding is transformative for Florida’s network of legal aid providers, allowing them to retain and hire more highly qualified legal professionals, expand facilitation of pro bono volunteerism and ultimately increase the number of clients receiving legal assistance.’
