Change Grants continue the core component of our long-running grants program and provide funding for projects that address issues or gaps limiting people's access to justice.
These grants are an effective way for community legal centres and other not-for-profit organisations to test new ideas and advocate for change.
We work with successful applicants to customise funding to suit their project, offering longer-term grants if appropriate.
Providing organisations with the means to fund their work properly has proven successful in promoting innovation in service delivery, policy, and law reform, which helps to reduce disadvantage within Victoria's justice system.
Change Grants are available to Victorian-based not-for-profit, non-government organisations whose activities also take place in Victoria. We welcome applications on a range of themes related to access to justice.
