BUILDING OUR CAPACITY WITH THE CHESTNUT FOUNDATION
As lifelong advocates for social justice and human rights, the trustees of the Chestnut Foundation have powered our team of social justice lawyers through annual contributions to the National Justice Project. For more than five years, they have helped build our capacity to fight for accountability, justice and change.
As a trustee of the Chestnut Foundation, Steven Castan has been a vital supporter since the early days of the National Justice Project. Not only has the Chestnut Foundation provided long-term funding in support of our core business operations, but Steven has served as a passionate Chair of our Board, and he champions the work of the National Justice Project among the Victorian legal community.
