Grata Fund
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grata Fund is a not for profit legal fund based in Australia. It's Australia's first specialist non-profit strategic litigation incubator and funder. Grata develops, funds, and builds sophisticated campaign architecture around high impact, strategic litigation brought by people and communities in Australia.[1] Grata Fund uses a movement lawyering approach, an innovative model of collaborative justice which grew out of the US civil rights movement to build the power of the people.[2]
The organisation was founded in 2015[3] by Isabelle Reinecke,[4][5][6] and is partnered with the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Faculty of Law and Justice.[7] Among the cases supported by the group are those relating to governmental responses to climate change,[8] freedom of information,[9] and matters of gender identity and sex-discrimination.[10]
In financial year 2023, Grata Fund supported 22 cases, and partnered with 6 legal teams and 30 barristers who provided pro bono legal representation and advice.[11] 40% of these cases were led by First Nations people.[11]
