Boulder County Bar Association

WHAT IS OUR MISSION?

The Boulder County Bar Foundation was incorporated in 1983 to raise and distribute funds to make distributions to legally related 501(c)(3) organizations.

WHO DO WE HELP?

The Foundation has supported a variety of organizations and worthwhile projects through grants. The following are recent grant recipients:

Access Counseling
BCBA Law and Justice Program
Voices For Children
Center for Persons With Disabilities
Boulder County Legal Services
Boulder High School Mock Trial Program
Peak to Peak High School Mock Trial Program
Immigrant Legal Center of Boulder County
Native American Rights Foundation
St. Vrain Parenting Center
Bridge House (formerly The Carriage House)
University of Colorado Law School Loan Assistance Program
VORP
YWCA Divorce and Co-parenting programs

WHO ARE WE?

Fellows of the Foundation are members of the Boulder County Bar Association. The Foundation is governed by a nine-member Board of Trustees who are elected by the Foundation membership at the annual dinner. Each Trustee serves a three year term. The Board of Trustees for 2011-2012 are Bruce Fest, Virginia Chavez, Anton Dworak, Joan Norman, Seth Benezra, Star Waring, Bill Meyer, Melody Fuller, Sonny Flowers and Christine Hylbert, Executive Director.

HOW DO I QUALIFY?

Current members of the Boulder County Bar who have been active in bar activites and/or are leaders in bar endeavors are invited to become Fellows of the Boulder County Bar Foundation. New Fellows are often recommended by their colleagues and are honored at the March annual dinner.

Each member pledges to contribute a minimum of $150 annually for ten years, which is tax deductible. A Bar Fellow who has completed the ten-year commitment of $1500 becomes an Honorary Life Member of the Foundation. Honorary Life Members who maintain their support are recognized as Sustaining Life Members. Those Life Members who continue to support the Foundation become a Sustaining Life Member. Fellows who donate $2500 to $5000 will become Life Benefactor Fellows and those who give $10,000 will become Life Leadership Fellows.

WHY DO WE NEED YOU?

The 2011-20102 Board of Trustees adopted the goal of substantially enhancing the Foundation's granting capabilities. Without jeopardizing corpus of the trust, the annual grants awarded is around $11,000. The Board aims to increase the number of grants awarded as well as the level of funding to individual grants so that the Foundation's contributions will significantly impact the community. The Foundation believes that support to legal education and law related projects is the best way to increase our profession's public image at the same time as providing public service to our Boulder County.
