Members of the Montgomery Bar Association as well as many community
members donate funds to the Foundation each year. The Foundation
has recently added endowments as part of their funding options.
Those interested in donating funds to the Foundation in their
will or by any other means are encouraged to do so. The Foundation
also holds special events each year as fundraisers for their
cause. In addition to the generous contributions from the
Montgomery Bar Association and community members, the Foundation
receives funds from various Circles of Contributors. A Circle
of Contributors is a group of people who come together in
memory of Montgomery County Bench and Bar members to contribute
funds over a specific period of time. Two of the most recent
Circles are The Stefan Circle, in honor of Judge Louis D.
Stefan, and The Taxis Circle, in honor of Judge Alfred L.
Taxis, Jr.
The Foundation currently gives approximately 8 - 10 grants
a year to charitable organizations related to the administration
of justice, and hopes to increase this number in time. With
the help of Montgomery Bar Association and community members
the Foundation feels they can achieve this goal. The Montgomery
Bar Foundation is always interested in learning of qualified
and deserving law firms and organizations to distribute grants
to in order to promote the interests of justice. If you are
aware of any such organizations or are interested in making
a donation to the Foundation, please call the Montgomery Bar
Association at 610-279-9660 ext. 202.
