Fair, transparent support when you need it most.
If you’re a plaintiff struggling with everyday expenses while your case moves forward, you’re not alone. Lawsuits can take months or even years to resolve, but bills and medical costs don’t wait.
The Milestone Foundation is here to help. As the nation’s only nonprofit consumer litigation funder, we provide pre-settlement advances at 15% simple interest — never compounding — and always non-recourse. That means:
- No repayment if you lose your case.
- Transparent, ethical funding designed to give you breathing room.
If your case has already settled and you have an urgent need for financial assistance while you wait to receive your settlement funds, The Milestone Foundation can provide post-settlement funding, at 10% simple interest.
What We Fund
Our advances are designed to cover the basics of everyday life:
-
Housing and utilities
-
Food and groceries
-
Transportation and other essentials
