Capacity Strengthening Grant Program

Christian Legal Society (CLS) is committed to helping Christian Legal Aid (CLA) organizations grow stronger from the inside out. By investing in internal systems—such as operations, technology, governance, and staff development— the Capacity Strengthening Grant empowers organizations of all sizes and budgets to serve their communities more effectively.

Our goal is to build sustainable CLA organizations of all sizes that can continue providing vital legal services to those in need for years to come.
