MJF Law-Related Education Grants

The MJF Law-Related Education Grants, funded by the Montana Justice Foundation, support educational projects that enhance public understanding of the law. Grants of up to $3,000 are available for initiatives such as mock trials, community training on legal topics, and events like We The People. Priority is given to proposals that create a lasting impact in underserved communities. Applications can be submitted year-round, promoting access to legal knowledge and services.

Since its inception, MJF has awarded more than $9 million to nonprofit organizations across Montana. We support projects that help people stay in housing, receive medical care, escape abusive and violent environments, and rebuild their lives.
The Montana Justice Foundation Law-Related Education (LRE) Grants Program provides small grant awards (up to $3,000) to qualifying organizations for the purpose of conducting projects that support a knowledge and awareness of the law. Examples of projects that may qualify for a Law-Related Education Grant include:
