The Indiana Pro Bono Commission is a project of the Indiana Bar Foundation and consists of 21 members appointed by the Indiana Supreme Court and the Indiana Bar Foundation. The Commission is administered by an executive director. The individuals on the Commission were appointed pursuant to Indiana Rule of Professional Conduct 6.6 and together, they have the responsibility of allocating IOLTA funds to the 14 District Pro Bono Committees in Indiana. A trial judge from one of the counties in each Indiana district chairs and appoints the District Committee. District Committees submit an annual report and plan that addresses the unmet legal needs in their community. The Indiana IOLTA program funds the implementation of the district plans and the efforts of the District Committees to improve delivery of civil legal services to the lower income population in their district. To date the Indiana Pro Bono Commission has funded nearly $1,700,000.00 to the 14 Indiana District Committees.
