Propose your case to us!

How does the funding work?

We receive the funding request from the citizens group or non-profit and our Case Management committee reviews it.

Our selection criteria are:

importance of the case to society, both at large and to the local community
importance of the case as a legal precedent
chances of success
cost and available funding
quality of the legal team selected.

We can help your citizen’s group incorporate as a non-profit corporation, if needed.

We meet with the non-profit organization to come to a funding agreement.

The Legacy Fund usually matches dollar-for-dollar sums raised by the citizens’ group up to an agreed-upon amount, but we can make exceptions based on individual circumstances. Importantly, any funds raised by our partner citizens’ group – when donated through the Legacy Fund – are eligible for a tax deduction.

If the Legacy Fund adopts a proposal, we sign a simple agreement with the non-profit organization. This agreement will cover such details as funding, reporting and oversight of the case.

With the non-profit organization, we identify the necessary studies and experts.

biodiversity studies;
tax analyses;
archeological evaluations;

If needed, we help the non-profit organization find a legal team to prepare the legal procedures to take action.

It’s important to note that a case might not always lead to legal action, as we also look for non-litigious solutions.

We evaluate the results with the non-profit organization and assess if other steps are required to the case’s success.
