Grant Programs at The Attorneys in Motion Foundation
Many talented women lawyers find their ambitions stalled by financial constraints rather than by a lack of talent or vision.
That’s where The Attorneys in Motion Foundation can help. We enable women lawyers and women in business to make their mark as leaders and innovators, free from financial constraints that could otherwise limit their potential.
The AIM Foundation fills a critical need—addressing the funding gap—with two distinct grant programs to support women entrepreneurs in launching and advancing their legal practices and businesses.
