Community Legal Grants
Help the community navigate civil legal issues and the Victorian justice system.
Up to $20,000
Community Legal Grants will open on 1 December 2022.
Improve community understanding
Community Legal Grants support projects that improve community understanding of a civil legal issue or navigate the Victorian justice system where there is a demonstrated legal need.
These grants will fund one-off projects that address a legal issue for a specific community, such as development of a resource, tool or series of workshops, or pilot projects that offer new approaches to delivering legal information or to trial a strategy and gain further insights, for example, the delivery of legal information in a new way that could be replicated in other programs or services.
