These grants aim to:
- develop a new understanding of the legal needs of Victorians through collection of data and information
- improve capability of the organisation to collect, analyse and use data and information
- share information with other organisations or agencies which results in a better understanding of the target group and ways to address need effectively.
Grant amount: up to $50,000
Open: 1 July 2021
Close: Monday 23 August 2021

These grants will fund one-off projects that address a legal issue for a specific community, such as development of a resource, or pilot projects that offer new approaches to delivering legal information or to trial a strategy and gain further insights.
Grant amount: up to $20,000
Open: 1 December 2021
Close: 15 March 2022
