Empowering Equal Justice Throughout North Carolina.
NC IOLTA — North Carolina Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Accounts — improves access to justice across North Carolina by funding high-quality legal assistance programs. By working directly with lawyers and financial partners across our state to set up interest-bearing accounts, we have awarded more than $134 million to organizations that help provide legal aid to individuals, families and children.

Serving the Underserved
Due to limited resources and insufficient funding, only a fraction of North Carolinians have access to the critical legal services they need to thrive.
Today, there is only one legal aid attorney for every 8,000 eligible North Carolinians.
Without legal assistance, these residents’ basic rights and needs are placed in jeopardy.
Underserved communities disproportionately lack access to legal representation.
