The Law and Justice Foundation's grants program supports projects that meet the Foundation's objects of improving access to justice, particularly for socially and economically disadvantaged people.

The Foundation offers the following types of grants:

• General grants
• Small grants

The Foundation aims for a grants program which is flexible and responsive to community needs.

The Foundation is committed to the following principles:

• meeting identified need, especially for socially and economically disadvantaged members of the community
• using appropriate strategies for the target audience
• working cooperatively
• not duplicating existing initiatives
• high quality

We encourage you to discuss your project proposal with the Foundation at the early stages of project planning, before preparing an application. As well as providing information about our grants program, we may be able to assist you with identifying other organisations, resources and research in the area. We also may be able to assist you with developing research methodologies and evaluation strategies.
