Are you a nonprofit organization with an idea to improve access to justice for Ontarians? Then apply for a Responsive grant.
The Responsive grants program enables the Foundation to fund ideas generated by nonprofit community groups to improve access to justice. Responsive grants aim to encourage new ideas, innovations, approaches, and relationships that can help address emerging needs and connect more people to legal information and supports, especially people who are not currently being reached. These grants have provided seed funding for hundreds of innovative projects across Ontario.
Each year the program includes one round of major grants and two rounds of small grants. New this year is a second level of Major granting, allowing up to $250K to accommodate unique and transformative projects that have the potential for large scale impact.
