Columbus Institute Legal Relief Fund
The Columbus Institute Legal Relief Fund offers legal assistance grants to low-income Latino individuals and families. Whether facing issues in family law, immigration, or personal safety, we’re here to ensure our community gets the support it needs when it matters most.
Emergency Legal Help for Those Who Need It Most
If you or your family are facing a legal crisis and can’t afford the help you need, the Columbus Institute Legal Relief Fund may be able to assist. We provide grants for professional legal services in:
• Family law (custody, divorce, guardianship)
• Immigration matters (status, deportation defense, DACA)
• Domestic violence and personal safety
Funds are paid directly to attorneys or legal providers — never to individuals — to ensure responsible and timely use.

Our process is fast, fair, and focused on getting help to those who need it — when they need it.
