Welcome to the
Alberta Law Foundation.

The Alberta Law Foundation is the recipient of the interest which banks, credit unions, trust companies, and treasury branches must pay on clients' funds held in lawyers' general trust accounts. (This does not include interest paid on a specific trust investment held for an individual client). The interest is made available by the Foundation by way of grants to organizations engaged in activities which are considered to be in keeping with the Foundation's objects.

The Foundation does not provide legal information or advice.

Staff can assist with the application process but the funding decision rests with the Board of Directors.
