Welcome to the Civil Justice Foundation

The Civil Justice Foundation is a national charitable organization dedicated to safeguarding justice for all Americans by strengthening the alliance between attorneys and consumer advocacy groups. The Foundation was founded in 1986 by attorneys and a group of consumer advocates who believed that all Americans - particularly working families, individual workers, and consumers - deserve unobstructed access to the civil justice system.

It is the only national foundation devoted solely to protecting the individual rights, health, and well-being of the injured - providing small but significant grants to the tireless organizations fighting for injury prevention and justice preservation across the country. Since its inception, CJF has awarded over $1.4 million to 116 consumer advocacy organizations throughout North America. By providing a voice to the voiceless, these pioneering groups seek to preserve the constitutional rights afforded to all Americans by the civil justice system.

To date, the Foundation has awarded more than $1,400,000 to more than 116 organizations.
