NAIP
The National Association of IOLTA programs (NAIP) was established in1986 to enhance legal services for the poor and the administration of justice through the growth and development of IOLTA programs as effective grant-making institutions that provide a major source of funding and support for legal services for the poor, administration of justice, and other law-related public interest programs. NAIP's membership consists of dues-paying IOLTA programs in the United States and Canada represented by program directors and board leaders. NAIP is governed by officers and a board elected by its member organizations.

Commission on IOLTA
The Commission on IOLTA was established by the American Bar Association in 1986. It (1) collects, maintains, analyzes and disseminates information on programs involving the use of interest on lawyers' trust accounts for the support of law-related public service activities; (2) makes recommendations for Association policy on the creation and operation of IOLTA programs; (3) maintains liaisons with state IOLTA programs; and (4) oversees the IOLTA Clearinghouse, which provides information, materials and technical assistance on IOLTA program design and operation. Please visit the Commission's Web site to learn more.
