How to request funding

How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)

Full reporting is monitored for all grant recipients as per criteria of each individual grant. state bar staff attend meetings as needed with recipients and maintains ongoing contact with each recipient regarding grants and grant compliance. the state bar has been appointed the agent of the atj fund grant commission to collect funds from pro hac vice fees and iolta interest and to hold these funds on the atj fund grant commission's behalf pending disbursement as ordered by the atj fund grant commission. these funds are accounted for as pass-through obligations and the undisbursed funds are reported as a liability of the state bar on its balance sheet. since these are pass- through funds of the atj fund grant commission, neither the receipts nor the disbursement are reflected on the state bar's statement of revenues or functional expenses. therefore, the amounts reported on schedule i are not reflected on line 1 in part ix of the form 990. consistent with prior year returns, the state bar has elected to report the grant disbursements ordered by the atj fund grant commission on their schedule i to provide a record of the grantees receiving the atj fund grant commission funds awarded during the current tax year.
