The Louisiana Bar Foundation

Advancing Equal Justice and law-related education through Fellowship


Named Funds - A Lifetime Legacy

With a minimum gift of $10,000, you, your family, law firm or organization can establish a named fund. In addition to providing support to further the mission of the Louisiana Bar Foundation, your fund will provide a lifetime gift to the agency of your choice.

Donor Designated Funds

Donors choose a specific non profit organization as the beneficiary of an interest income-generated grant. If an agency ceases to exist or the purpose for which a fund was created becomes obsolete, the Board of Directors may redirect the fund to best achieve the basic intent of its donor.
