ABOUT THE LAW FOUNDATION OF BC
The Law Foundation of British Columbia (the Foundation) invests in work that empowers people and strengthens communities, aimed at creating a future where systems of law and justice support all people to live and thrive in dignity.
The Foundation makes grants using funds arising from the interest paid on lawyers’ pooled trust accounts and other sources.
Through its funding, the Foundation supports many programs and services that seek to promote justice for people at both an individual and systemic level. This includes funding to support a network of civil legal aid services for low income people, to provide legal research and education, and to support public access to legal information, to name a few.
Working at the Foundation means joining a team of passionate, hard-working professionals. We are committed to building and supporting an inclusive and respectful working environment, where all employees are valued for their contributions to our mission, and feel a sense of safety, dignity, and belonging.

The Foundation believes that a workforce that represents the diversity of the communities we serve strengthens our ability to achieve our mission.
The Foundation’s main office is located in Vancouver on the shared lands of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, and conducts its work throughout the homelands of Indigenous peoples across the place we now call British Columbia. The Law Foundation of BC is committed to supporting a just and meaningful reconciliation between Indigenous peoples and others in these lands.
