Law Foundation of Ontario

Established by statute in 1974, The Law Foundation of Ontario is the sole foundation in Ontario with the mandate of improving access to justice. Through granting and collaboration, the Foundation invests in knowledge and services that help people understand the law and use it to improve their lives.

Through granting and collaboration we invest in knowledge and services that help people understand the law and use it to improve their lives.

The Foundation is an organization mandated to make grants that promote access to justice in Ontario. However, we do not make grants to individuals and we do not provide legal advice. If you are looking for legal help, we recommend that you visit the Law Society Referral Service (LSRS) portal where you can submit a request for a consultation with a legal representative.
