Attorneys routinely receive client funds to be held in trust for future use.
If the amount is large or the funds are to be held for a long period of time, the attorney must place these monies at interest for the benefit of the client. However, in the case of amounts that are small or are to be held for a short time, it is impractical to establish separate interest-bearing accounts for individual clients. The Grants Committee will make a particular effort to fund worthy projects on an equitable geographic basis throughout the State of Maine. Preference will be given to innovative projects developed by new or existing programs, which clearly respond to identifiable unmet needs in the community and which minimize overlapping administrative costs. The Maine Bar Foundation will make funding determinations on the basis of written applications in the format prescribed by the Foundation.
