It's difficult to get funding for a garden variety lawsuit. Many lawsuits filed in small claims court are cheap and you won't need a lawyer for them, but I imagine that you're asking about the real thing.
You have two excellent options. One, find a law firm (a larger one, preferably) and see if they will take you case on pro bono (free). Firms usually do this to improve the firm's prestige and as community giving. The second is also good if your case means something to a certain group in particular. I have heard that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is excellent with civil rights cases and major precedent-setting cases (http://www.splcenter.org/legal/assist/assist.jsp) Also, try the Legal Services Corporation (http://www.lsc.gov/)
Many local organizations can help too. The best way to get some free legal advice and find out how to get a lawyer and proceed is your local American Bar Association (ABA). There are other smaller Bar Associations that can be found through Google searches. The people there know a lot and they'll be able to help you out.
Be wary of television advertisements and organizations that help you file a lawsuit even if they're not actually lawyers. These organizations are walking a fine line legally and their advice will not be the best.

Those are two sources. But to be perfectly honest, the place to find good law places is not the internet or the yellow pages. Ask all your friends and co-workers if they know of a trustworthy place to finance your lawsuit. That way you will find someone reputable and won't get screwed!
Good luck! :)

This is one of those things that you should also discuss with your attorney first of all. Like eatthatpopcorn said you do need to be careful and never pay any fees upfront (remember you are the one in need). I would go with the tried and true names within the industry and don't fall for any gimmick rates or fees. If it is too good to be true it probably is.
A lawsuit loan can really help out some people but often times they are not needed. Only you can asses whether you need to take out the loan. The leaders in the industry are linked above.
