Law Society Public Purposes Trust
Low
Annual Giving
$25K
Grant Range
$1K – $100K
Tips for Applicants
Contact the Law Society NT directly to discuss funding priorities and alignment with their public purposes. Given the small annual giving amount ($25,000), focus on specific, tangible community legal initiatives in the NT that demonstrate clear public benefit.
Giving Philosophy
The trust focuses on advancing public legal welfare and access to justice in the Northern Territory, supporting initiatives that bridge the gap between the legal profession and the community, particularly through the First Interview Scheme and other legal assistance programs.
