About us

Who We Are

We fund the programs, organizations, and people working to make justice more accessible and equitable for everyone in this province, because access to the law should not be determined by income, background, or circumstances.

Our history

Created in 1969, we were the first foundation of our kind in North America. What started in BC became a continent-wide model for funding access to justice, and our story is still being written.
