About the Foundation

Established in 1987, the OBA Foundation is the charitable arm of the Ontario Bar Association. The OBA Foundation promotes public legal education and advances innovative research with the goal of improving the justice system.

Ongoing work includes funding projects that promote legal education and access to justice in marginalized communities, such as San Romanoway Revitalization Association-sponsored programs; high school trial moots across the province; and fellowships in law and ethics.

The activities of the OBA Foundation are governed by its Trustees, a group of dedicated lawyers from across the Province.

EDI Statement

The OBA Foundation is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion as essential elements of the justice system. We believe the justice system is strongest when it embraces and reflects all individuals it serves. Accordingly, the Foundation’s priority is to support and fund equity, diversity and inclusion initiatives and projects within the justice system, including within the legal profession. The Foundation encourages applications by organizations and individuals who serve historically-excluded, equity-seeking groups identified by race, ancestry, place of origin, skin colour, ethnicity, faith, citizenship, sexual orientation, gender or gender expression, age, marital status, family status or disability.
