Victoria Law Foundation Small Grants

What is the Victoria Law Foundation Small Grants?

The Victoria Law Foundation Small Grants is a program to support small projects that improve community understanding of the justice system.

Funding

The Foundation’s grant pool is $300,000 divided between our three grant programs. Unfortunately the Foundation is unable to fund many great projects due to limited funding. The Foundation aims to fund around 4-5 projects within each grant program.

Grants of up to $5000 is available to support one-off projects that improve community understanding of Victoria’s justice system.

These grants are likely to fund:

one-off projects addressing legal issues relating to a specific community

professional development activities

recurrent or core operational costs
purchase of major items of equipment
international travel costs
commercial or profit-making activities
litigation of any kind
projects that primarily support political activity and lobbying
costs incurred prior to grant approval
grant applications previously deemed unsuccessful by the Foundation unless invited to reapply.

Eligible Applicants

Small Grant applications are open to community legal organisations and not-for-profit community organisations. Non-legal organisations are encouraged to partner with a legal service to ensure accurate legal information is provided to the audience group.
