Thousands of lawyers, legal professionals and other committed supporters make general donations to the CBF throughout the year. Along with the contributions from the CBF’s other annual individual giving initiatives—our special giving programs and the annual Investing in Justice Campaign—these donations are critical to the CBF’s ability to carry out our mission in the community.

Individuals can contribute to the CBF by making a general donation. Individuals also can contribute by making a tribute or memorial gift, a gift of appreciated stock or, for CBA members, through the CBA Dues Check Off program.

The CBF respects the privacy of all of our donors and will not sell or share your personal information under any circumstances.
