Land of Lincoln Legal Assistance Foundation, Inc. Land of Lincoln is an Illinois not-for-profit corporation. We provide free civil legal services to low-income persons and senior citizens in 65 counties in central and southern Illinois. Our mission is to pursue civil justice for low-income persons through representation and education. Our goals are:

• to promote economic security, adequate shelter and health care;
• to alleviate domestic violence and improve family stability; and
• to advance the interests of vulnerable populations.

Land of Lincoln is governed by its own Board of Directors made up of attorneys and eligible clients who live throughout our 65 county service territory. We are not a government agency. We are independent advocates for our clients. Much of our funding comes from the federal Legal Services Corporation, which receives funding through congressional appropriations. Other Land of Lincoln funders include the Lawyers Trust Fund, Illinois Attorney General, Illinois Department of Human Services, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, local United Ways, the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, the Department of Justice Violence Against Women Office, and Area Agencies on Aging.
