Your donation will give EJA flexible funding to take on the most important challenges of our time.

Your gift will help us run game-changing court cases, high-stakes legal interventions, advocacy campaigns and investigative research.

Our donors are our lifeblood. You help us deliver public interest, strategic legal work that disrupts the systems that are fuelling destruction – powering legal challenges to environmentally harmful corporate behaviour, making companies and governments more responsible and delivering justice for nature and people.

Our work doesn't end in the courtroom. Together with our clients and partners, your donation helps us craft law reform, advocacy and communications strategies to shift the public debate and solidify the impact of our legal wins.

In addition to contributing to EJA's bold and impactful legal work, your donation also helps many other nonprofits and community groups get the best legal defence.

We are bold and proudly independent, and rely on the generosity of donors and foundations like you.

Thank you for making this vital work possible!

We gratefully receive funding from people across Australia.

This includes donations from individuals, gifts in wills, and major gifts from individuals and charitable trusts.

We also receive grants from foundations that share our vision and believe in our mission.

We gratefully receive pro-bono support from law firms and legal counsel who advise and appear on behalf of our clients in court.

Leading experts in Australia and around the world contribute their scientific research, expertise and advice through pro-bono assistance.

The only government funding we receive is a community legal centre grant from Victoria Legal Aid to provide access to justice for a small number of clients.

We are proudly independent – we believe our ability to be bold and fearless is vital to our work.
