The Boston Bar Foundation Society of Fellows is a dedicated group of over 500 individual donors who share a common goal: advancing justice, strengthening our profession and expanding access to legal resources for those who need it most. Fellows are the driving force behind the Boston Bar Foundation’s impact, supporting critical legal services, educational initiatives, and efforts to build a more inclusive legal profession.

Expanding Access to Justice: Going Beyond Grants
Each year, the Boston Bar Foundation awards over $1 million in grants to nonprofit organizations that provide essential legal services in housing, immigration, domestic violence, veterans’ support, and children’s rights. Through a strategic and data-driven approach, our grants address the most pressing legal needs in our community—helping thousands across Massachusetts secure the legal representation they deserve.
Our commitment to this work extends beyond financial support. We collaborate with grantees to develop responsive programming, pro bono training, and critical legal resources—ensuring that help reaches those who need it most.

Building a Better Profession: Investing in the Next Generation of Leaders
The next generation of lawyers will shape the future of our profession. The BBF fosters civic engagement and public service through initiatives like the Public Interest Leadership Program (PILP) and our Career Fair, supporting young attorneys from the very beginning of their careers.

Championing Opportunity: Empowering All Lawyers
A strong legal profession is built on opportunity, support, and growth. The BBF has long championed initiatives that create opportunities for attorneys from all backgrounds, offering mentorship, career advancement, and professional development to ensure all lawyers have the resources they need to succeed.
Join the Society of Fellows.
Fellows commit to a financial pledge at one of seven giving levels (from $10,000-$100,000), payable over time. While gifts are unrestricted, donors may direct their contributions to specific areas of interest.
Fellows receive invitations to the Adams Benefit honoree reception and the annual Society of Fellows event. Those who have completed their pledges at an elevated level receive complimentary tickets to the Adams Benefit and other major events.
Your investment in the Society of Fellows helps the Boston Bar Foundation continue to build a fairer, more just future for our community and profession. Join us in making a lasting impact.
