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

• Envision new ways to create equal justice for all people.
• Develop concrete innovations in the delivery of legal services, court operations, legal education or in other justice-related areas.
• Address legal needs or projects which are important in a democratic society but that may go against public or political sentiment.
• Bring together diverse resources and people to find solutions to justice-related problems.
• Justice Grants are usually made for start-up costs, planning and research, or for funding to help stabilize new programs; they generally fall within the $500-$2,000 range, with some exceptions.
•  

Justice Grants are made from the Bar Foundation’s endowment, comprised of the following funds: Advancement of Justice Fund and Richard P. Dunfey Fund; Hon. William F. Batchelder Fund; Stanley M. and Thalia M. Brown Fund; Vickie Bunnell Memorial Fund; Judge Richard F. Cooper Fund; J. Albert and Mildred E. Lynch Fund; A.J. McDonough Family Fund; and the Voluntary Prevention Fund. Each fund has a particular area of interest that may be reviewed on the Bar Foundation’s Web site and on the Justice Grant application form.
