GBLS' Innovation Fund
Through our 125 years in existence, GBLS has represented nearly one million individual clients and created systemic change to benefit countless more people across Massachusetts. Our experience teaches us that there will be new challenges ahead. As we mark our 125th anniversary, we ask ourselves – what’s next?
Current challenges to due process and the rule of law require more of civil legal aid than ever before. Beyond today, new legal issues that arise will demand new and innovative solutions. The time to prepare for these changes is now.
GBLS’ new Innovation Fund honors our history and impact while preparing for our future.
From a new Legal Laboratory, where GBLS will address emerging client needs and issues, to an enhanced focus on community engagement and partnerships to increase our reach and impact, to continued improvements to technology and infrastructure, we are building the future of civil legal aid.
For 125 years, GBLS has been a light in the darkness for community members in need. Founded on principles of fairness and equality, we are torchbearers for justice.
