Justice Funds

A Justice Fund honors North Carolina lawyers, past and present, whose careers have shown dedication to the pursuit of justice and outstanding service to the profession and the public.

A Justice Fund is a named endowment and may be established in recognition of an attorney with a gift of $35,000 by one or more contributors (a group of attorneys, associates and family members). Restricted Justice Funds earmarked for a specific project or area of interest may be created with a minimum gift of $100,000 to the Endowment.

North Carolina lawyers designated and honored by the creators of a Justice Fund receive special recognition in the form of a permanent copper-etched plaque and biographical sketch maintained at the North Carolina Bar Center in Cary, North Carolina.

Established in 1987, earnings from the Endowment enable the Foundation to fund programs and activities to better serve the public and the profession. The North Carolina Bar Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and contributions to the Endowment are tax deductible. Through January 2013 the NCBA Foundation Endowment has awarded grants totaling more than $4.2 million for 539 outstanding projects. A listing of awarded grants is available for your review.
