The Cincinnati Bar Foundation, or CBF, serves the legal profession, the justice system and the Greater Cincinnati community. It makes grants to worthy programs, thanks to donations from members of the legal community.
Led by a volunteer board, it oversees specific funds and makes grant awards twice a year. The Foundation also fulfills its mission by naming a recipient of the John L. Muething Lifetime Achievement in Law award each fall.
