BLF funds public interest law through year-long grants for law graduates and new attorneys from around the country. Our grants enable the recipients to work on innovative and critical projects that provide desperately needed legal services to communities all around the nation. Our year-long grant application is currently open and due January 16, 2026.

Besides providing crucial funding for legal services, BLF works to ensure diversity in legal education and the profession. To this end, BLF created the Broussard Phoenix Fellowship, which provides several outstanding Berkeley Law students of color funding to support their legal education.
