Thank you for Investing in Justice
Thank you! Your support of this year’s Investing for Justice campaign continues our mission of providing equal access to justice in our community and empowering nonprofits to help our legally vulnerable citizens. Since 1961, the Cincinnati Bar Foundation has been committed to providing grants and funding for educational and charitable programs that serve the legal profession, the justice system and the community.
I have had the immense pleasure of serving as President of the Cincinnati Bar Foundation for almost two years. We’ve overcome the hurdles presented by the global pandemic, remaining a source of support for organiza- tions — and individuals — in our community, and with your help, we will continue our good work of the last 60 years. If you haven’t yet contributed, there is still time to join the
Investing for Justice campaign. Please give today at cincybar.org/donate.
