Grant Funding
The Yukon Law Foundation holds one or two general grant meetings each year. The Foundation funds law-related activities such as legal education, legal research for the reform of law and administration of justice, and maintenance of the law library. All interest earned on money from clients placed in lawyers’ trust accounts is paid by the banks to the Yukon Law Foundation. As a result, the amount of money that is available to the Foundation to pursue its objectives will vary from year to year.
- The Spring Grant Application Deadline is April 30 annually.
May, 2024: Due to technical issues with our website and email, the spring deadline this year has been extended to May 31. - The Fall Grant Application Deadline is August 31 annually.
The Yukon Law Foundation is established under the Yukon Legal Profession Act and its objectives are to fund several law-related activities as follows
- Legal Education;
- Law Library Maintenance; and
- Legal Research for law reform and administration of justice.
The attached application form and guide will assist you in the development of a grant proposal, should you be interested in applying for funding.
The deadline for grant proposals is 3:00 p.m. on the closing date. Please keep this in mind when sending your applications through the mail. An electronic copy is preferred. Please e-mail
