PLE Funders

Both federal and provincial governments fund public legal education activities across the country, often through their justice ministries. Law foundations also fund public legal education in many jurisdictions. However, PLE organizations have also been successful in getting funding from community and private foundations. However, they have not had major success in attracting private donations or corporate sponsorships.

Because the interests of funders are very dynamic, please visit their respective web sites for information on their current funding programs.
