OK ATJ Foundation
About the Foundation
The Oklahoma Access to Justice Foundation was founded in 2018 with the support of the Oklahoma Access to Justice Commission to serve as an independent nonprofit program, policy, and advocacy partner to expand and realize the goals of the Commission. Supported with start-up funding from the Oklahoma Bar Foundation, the ATJ Foundation’s Executive Director began in December 2019 as the sole staff. Over the past five years, the ATJ Foundation has solidified a role as a connector and advocate, as well as adding capacity to the state in areas of legal information and education.
