What is WisTAF?

The Wisconsin Trust Account Foundation, Inc. (WisTAF) is the civil legal aid funding administrator established by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. 

Since our founding in 1986, we have managed a plethora of public and private funding streams, awarding and administering millions of dollars in grants to organizations throughout the state.

Our investments support civil legal aid to help the most vulnerable in every Wisconsin county protect their rights and liberties through gaining access to the justice system.

With this access, clients can pursue stability, safety, and self-sufficiency — in turn benefitting our state as a whole.
