Advancing justice through access, knowledge, and understanding

About the Manitoba Law Foundation

The Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 1986 under The Legal Profession Act. The Foundation receives the interest on funds held in lawyers’ pooled and mixed trust accounts, maintained in the banks and credit unions of the province.

Each year, 50% of this interest revenue is granted to Legal Aid Manitoba and 16.67% is granted to The Law Society of Manitoba. The remaining interest is available to fund programs and projects in accordance with our mandate.
