Responsive grants program

The Responsive grants program enables The Law Foundation of Ontario to fund ideas generated by nonprofit community groups to improve access to justice. The responsive grants program includes one round of major grants (two streams: up to $100,000 and from $100,000 to $250,000) and two rounds of small grants (up to $15,000).

Responsive grants aim to encourage new ideas, 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 initiatives across Ontario.
