Each year, the Boston Bar Foundation funds programs that improve the lives of thousands of individuals and families in the Greater Boston area, foster a more diverse, equitable and inclusive legal community, and advance the ideals and values of our profession. Our work would not be possible without the generosity of the members of the Society of Fellows and other individual donors. We invite you to partner with us by pledging to join the Society of Fellows or making a gift to our Annual Campaign or Special Funds.
Society of Fellows
The Boston Bar Foundation Society of Fellows is a community of over 500 lawyers dedicated to supporting the BBF. Pledge levels range from $5,000-$100,000, and Fellows funds create a lasting and stable source of support for the Foundation’s work, projects and programs. Fellows receive exclusive invitations throughout the year to attend events and receptions, hear from representatives of grantee organizations, public service volunteers and other leaders in our community.

Hear From Our Fellows
I am proud to have joined the Society of Fellows and support the Boston Bar Foundation, especially its important work with families, individuals and those in the underserved communities throughout our Commonwealth. I would encourage my colleagues to join me in supporting BBF and its work by becoming a Fellow.
Hear From Our Fellows
Participating in the Society of Fellows has given me a direct way to see our contributions at work. Lawyers in particular know how important legal services are to ensuring access to justice throughout our community. I’m proud to be part of funding the BBF, so that it can continue its long-term leadership role.
Hear From Our Fellows
The BBF’S work is vital to the Commonwealth and those in need of access to justice. For me, becoming a Fellow was an easy decision to make – I can’t think of a better way to support an organization that provides such essential services.
Hear From Our Fellows
The BBF’s mission to support pro bono work and access to justice for Boston’s needy is so critical to us as lawyers and citizens, and I am really grateful and excited for the opportunity to work with the BBF and the Society.
Hear From Our Fellows
I encourage anyone who doesn’t know about the BBF to attend a session where grantees speak of their work, the importance of the BBF’s support, and its impact on access to justice in our community. I doubt that anyone who attends can walk away without feeling inspired by and energized about the BBF’s mission.
Hear From Our Fellows
I joined the Society of Fellows because I wanted to support the Boston Bar Foundation in promoting access to justice, and in offering projects that support the community. Working as a sole practitioner, I’m glad to be able to offer pro bono services. Being a member of the Society of Fellows is a great complement, and is important to me, because of the work the BBF does to help even more people, and local students, with programs such as Law Day in the Schools and the Summer Jobs Program.
Hear From Our Fellows
I consider providing meaningful access to legal services to all to be one of my responsibilities as an attorney. As a Junior Fellow I have joined with others to fulfill that responsibility by supporting the Boston Bar Foundation in its commitment to fund and promote innovation in legal services and expand access to justice for the underserved.
Our Donors
We are grateful to the hundreds of BBA members who annually support the work we do to serve our city and expand access to justice for those in need. Whether through a contribution to the Annual Campaign or support of a specific project or initiative, our donors make possible a range of projects and programs that have a profound impact in our community.
