The Law Foundation of Ontario takes an active and engaging approach to our work as a grantmaker and to carry out our mandate of advancing access to justice. Since our creation in 1974, we have worked with and given out over $2B in grants to hundreds of carefully selected grantees, class actions in the public interest, and to Legal Aid Ontario.
