Cy Pres is a doctrine that permits a court to award unallocated, unclaimed, or undeliverable funds from a class action settlement or judgment to a non-profit organization.

EBCLC provides several multimodal, holistic legal services that align with most class action areas and makes us eligible to be nominated for Cy Pres funds. These awards allow EBCLC to continue fighting for justice for communities of color and those at the intersection of multiple oppressions. Our clinics and programs offer services that may fulfill a nexus with your class action.

Cy Pres funds would primarily be allocated towards legal services across the majority of our program areas.
