Equal Justice Wyoming announces grant opportunity to support civil legal services

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Equal Justice Wyoming (EJW), a program of the Wyoming Judicial Branch (WJB), has released a Notice of Grant Opportunity for Fiscal Year 2028, inviting qualified non-profit organizations to apply for funding to support civil legal services and improve access to justice in Wyoming.

Through its grant program, EJW funds non-profit organizations that provide civil legal aid to Wyoming residents who cannot afford an attorney.  This funding bridges gaps in services, addresses unmet legal needs, and expands access to justice statewide.

Eligible organizations are encouraged to review the Notice of Grant Opportunity for information about the application process, funding priorities, eligibility requirements, and grant expectations.

Applications must be submitted by 4:00 p.m. MT on December 31, 2026.  Additional information, including the Notice of Grant Opportunity and application materials, is available on the WJB website.

“Through our grants, we help build the capacity of legal aid providers to serve individuals and families across the state,” said Angie Dorsch, Director of Equal Justice Wyoming.  “We value the important role these organizations play in expanding access to justice.”
