Our grants
We offer two types of grants for one-off funding of civil legal and access to justice projects.
Major Grants support civil legal projects that help legal organisations better understand and support the legal needs and capabilities of Victorians.
Everyday Legal Grants support civil legal projects that help people access legal information, find the support they need, and navigate the Victorian justice system.
