Access to Justice Foundation funds organizations that expand free legal advice, representation, and pro bono support for people in the UK who are least able to access legal help. Its grants are especially aimed at strengthening the legal advice ecosystem itself—by supporting specialist solicitors, law centres, pro bono coordination, and frontline advice providers with capacity-building, outreach, and outcomes-focused legal support. The foundation typically backs established organizations through targeted programmes rather than open, unsolicited applications.
Program-based, invitation-only or no-unsolicited-proposals grants with defined rounds and grant periods. Awards range from small one-off grants to larger multi-year commitments, roughly $1,000 to $500,000, with lighter reporting for small grants and more formal reporting for multi-year programmes.

Monitor programme-specific funding rounds and deadlines, as applications are not accepted unsolicited. Strong proposals should show how the project increases access to free legal support for underserved communities, builds sustainable legal advice capacity, and fits the foundation’s current programme priorities and geography (primarily England, Wales, and the wider UK).
