About Calgary Legal Guidance Society

Overview

Calgary Legal Guidance Society (CLG) provides legal assistance to low-income clients through free community clinics, offering advice on a variety of legal topics including Criminal, Civil, Landlord/Tenant, Employment, Family, Elder, and Immigration Law. In addition to the clinics, CLG's legal services team provides representation to clients in programs such as Family Law, Homeless Outreach, Immigration Law, Elder Law, Social Benefits Advocacy, and Indigenous Student support. The organization also offers Public Legal Education presentations to the general public and website resources. CLG aims to bridge the gap between Indigenous peoples, the legal profession, and the legal system by employing an Indigenous student-at-law to assist Indigenous clients.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about getting started.

How does the platform work?

WellFunded eliminates the inefficiencies, inequities and ineffectiveness of traditional fundraising by centralizing and standardizing the process. Instead of spending time on endless grant applications, you create a single, detailed profile that philanthropists and foundations can easily discover and fund.

Do I need to apply for funding through WellFunded?

Philanthropists can browse charity profiles, see your funding needs, and express interest directly—saving you countless hours. We are soon rolling out a "two click granting" tool where donors can set their granting preferences and matching charities are automatically surfaced.

What does it cost?

WellFunded charges philanthropists today. For charities, WellFunded offers a free tier, with plans for affordable paid options that provide enhanced visibility and engagement tools. There will always be a free tier.

How does WellFunded help my charity get discovered?

Instead of relying on cold proposals or personal networks, WellFunded helps you get in front of philanthropists actively looking to give in your area of impact.

How does WellFunded ensure trust and transparency?

Charity profiles include leadership information, financial data, and clear funding needs. Philanthropists can also see impact reports and follow giving activity of other donors.

Is my information secure?

Yes. WellFunded prioritizes data security and does not sell or share your private information outside the platform.
