7 7 STRATEGIC RESET What is it? How is it being implemented? How will we measure for success?

8 8 You need a new song, or a couple new verses, at least. The old pro bono, lawyers are going to do everything, lawyers are going to give all the money, does not work. It cannot work. The problem is too big. We have got to reach out to other people, other entities, other ways, in order to accomplish our goal. - Former Florida Bar Executive Director Jack Harkness

9 9 Strategic Reset Report thefloridabarfoundation.org/what-we-do/strategic-reset/

10 OBJECTIVES MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT AND EFFECTIVENESS OF CIVIL LEGAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED TO LOW AND MODERATE INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES IN FLORIDA. Collaborations and partnerships will need to be built by grantees with other nonprofit and social services organizations. Sharing and adopting best practices will be key. Grantees will be expected to invest in technology, internal operations, and other systems to support their mission and programs.

11 OBJECTIVES EXPAND THE ROLE OF THE FOUNDATION AS AN EXPERT FACILITATOR OF EFFECTIVE CIVIL LEGAL ASSISTANCE FOR LOW AND MODERATE INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES IN FLORIDA. The Florida Bar Foundation has expertise and experience in grant applications, resource development, technology, and crisis communications which is shared with grantees. Expanding this role will require collaboration with strategic partners, developing and sharing the narrative, and expanding its communications program.

12 OBJECTIVES SERVE AS A CATALYST FOR BROAD-BASED, SYSTEMIC CHANGE AND INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE AND ELIMINATE THE JUSTICE GAP IN FLORIDA S CIVIL JUSTICE SYSTEM. Updating the delivery system to be client-centered, with measurable results is the goal. Rethinking the historical regional approach to a more targeted investment approach is underway. There are gaps in statewide advocacy that need to be addressed and filled. The Foundation will study those gaps and build plans to address them.
