Bar Foundation grants help protect our most vulnerable from harm.

Justice Grants Program

Justice Grant applications are accepted from New Hampshire nonprofit organizations and/or programs that:

1. Envision new ways to create equal justice for all people
2. Develop concrete innovations in the delivery of legal services, court operations, legal education or in other justice related areas
3. Address legal needs or projects which are important in a democratic society but that may go against public or political sentiment
4. Bring together diverse resources and people to find solutions to justice-related problems
5. Build public confidence in the justice system

Justice Grants are usually available for start up costs, planning and research, or for funding to help stabilize new programs, but not for ongoing operational support. Justice Grants are funded by donor-supported Justice Funds; some of which are broad in scope and others have specific, designated purposes. Please review the Justice Funds for more information.
