Since 1981, FFLA  (formerly The Florida Bar Foundation) has been the administrator of the Florida Supreme Court-approved Interest on Trust Accounts (IOTA) program. The FFLA board awards all grants, oversees the fundraising program, sets investment policies and FFLA policies generally, and adopts the annual operating budget.

The FFLA Board of Directors embraces the concept of diversity. A diverse membership makes the board stronger, and more relevant to the society in which we live. FFLA strongly encourages minorities and persons with disabilities to apply for service on the board. To help achieve the broadest participation, FFLA’s “Expense Reimbursement Policy” provides modest reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during board service for attorney members, and full reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during board service for public members and members of the judiciary.
