Partnership Grants
Our Partnership Grants provide recurring general operating funds to civil justice programs across Washington. We partner with organizations providing direct civil legal aid, including volunteer attorney programs, and specialized nonprofits focused on impact litigation, policy reform, and systemic advocacy. These long-term grants ensure the stability of civil legal aid in Washington and build an aligned movement toward equity and lasting change. LFW’s grantmaking strategy centers the goals of the State Plan and Alliance for Equal Justice. Funding for Partnership Grants is tied to LFW’s varying revenue, including state-funding, IOLTA, and private donations.
Partnership Grants have multiyear terms to provide increased stability, support long-term planning, and give programs the flexibility to take on creative solutions to critical civil justice issues.
