Annual Report 2006-2006 (fiscal year)

On the front lines in the battle for social justice, the lack of time and
resources make it difficult for nonprofit and private firms to engage in strategic
thinking or tap into the ideas of experts that could aid their work. This is where
The Impact Fund steps in. Our national conferences on class action employment
discrimination litigation over the last five years have helped to focus litigation
strategies for maximum effect, and to create a stronger sense of community
among litigators. They are proof that such a strategy works while nourishing
the next public interest class action generation. This year, we will expand our
outreach efforts to legal services and civil rights groups in other areas of the law
by convening roundtables of multi-disciplinary experts to determine the most
effective strategies for social justice.
