Grant Funding
The Yukon Law Foundation holds two general grant meetings a year. Generally, one is held in April and one in September. An ad is placed in the Yukon News and Whitehorse Star newspapers prior to the deadline. The Foundation funds several law-related activities such as legal education, legal research, legal aid, law reform 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 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.
Grant Funding Proposals will be accepted until September 6, 2011
The Yukon Law Foundation is established under the Yukon Legal Profession Act and its objectives are to fund several law-related activities as listed below:
