The Law Foundation of Ontario celebrates a big birthday in 2024. As we begin our 50th anniversary year, we are excited to share Growing Possibilities, our 2024-2029 strategic plan.
We intentionally embarked on a thorough and collaborative process to create this 5-year plan. It was led by an external partner and a staff committee representative of all Foundation departments. The plan itself was informed by comparator research, organizational reviews, and 44 confidential conversations with staff, Trustees, and Class Proceedings Committee members, and individuals from the legal and nonprofit sectors.
Growing Possibilities articulates our ambitions to leverage our resources, knowledge, and relationships to respond to the current access to justice challenges and opportunities. It also sets out our commitment to continue to grow our knowledge, innovations, and relationships. The plan’s 6 pillars and 19 objectives span the Foundation's core activities including grantmaking, sector building, the Class Proceedings Fund, financial stewardship, and organizational capacity. They also confirm our commitments to diversity, equity, inclusion, and Truth and Reconciliation.
