Responsive

To be eligible for a grant, applicants must be one of the following:

• Registered charities or incorporated nonprofit organizations
• Canadian universities or colleges
• Indigenous organizations
• Unincorporated organizations, committees, or associations may also apply if they possess a signed letter of commitment from an eligible payee.

An open call for applications is made each year. We plan to reopen the Responsive program in 2026. When the call is open, details can be found through our Open call for applications webpage.

Responsive grants fund community-led initiatives that improve access to justice. Responsive grants aim to encourage new projects that fill existing legal gaps, supplement existing services, or otherwise help address emerging needs by connecting more people to legal information and support, especially people who are not currently being reached.
