PENNSYLVANIA BAR

The Pennsylvania Bar Foundation, the 501(c)(3) charitable affiliate of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, was incorporated in 1984 in response to the organized bar's desire to become more involved in public service. The financial support of Foundation is generated almost exclusively from voluntary contributions... We work to increase the public's understanding of the law and its appreciation of democracy and strive to ensure that citizens, particularly Pennsylvania ‘s most vulnerable, have full access to our legal system. We accomplish our mission by making grants, seeking financial support from individuals and organizations both within and outside of the legal community, and encouraging bar members to donate their time, talent and expertise in service to the public... With potentially forgivable loans, we help attorneys, employed at IOLTA-funded legal services organizations, better manage their undergraduate and law school student loan debt so they can afford to remain in public..
