Cy Pres Funds

Cy pres are funds in class action cases and some other types of legal proceedings that cannot be distributed to the class members or intended beneficiaries of the fund.  Typically, courts can distribute these remaining residual funds to appropriate nonprofit organizations.

• Our Mission:  We work to resolve legal problems by eliminating barriers to justice, a mission that has a close nexus to the cases that result in cy pres residuals being available.  As a legal nonprofit organization, focused on legal strategies to ensure access to justice, we are an ideal choice to receive cy pres.

• Our Network: We leverage funds to serve hundreds.  The network we serve includes hundreds of nonprofits, law schools, institutions, and Californians in need.  Every $1 of cy pres to OneJustice ensures vital support services to 100s of leaders, staff, volunteers, and clients.

• Our Geographic Reach:  We provide our support and services statewide, reaching both urban and rural areas of the state.
