ILLINOIS BAR FOUNDATION

In 1951, a handful of visionary leaders of the Illinois State Bar Association recognized the need for a statewide charitable and philanthropic organization and founded the Illinois Bar Foundation. Their initial commitment was to provide aid to deserving members of the Illinois bar who, because of age or infirmity, could no longer provide for their own care or support. The Foundation has since expanded its scope to ensure meaningful access to the justice system for all, especially for those with limited means... As a philanthropic organization we recognize the importance of the law to ensure access to justice for everyone... Illinois Bar foundation ensures access to the justice system and assists lawyers who can no longer care for themselves due to incapacity.
