Support the Foundation

Member Programs: Friends of the Indiana Bar Foundation

The Friends of the Indiana Bar Foundation was created to recognize those generous members of the Indiana legal community who contribute at least $100 to the Indiana Bar Foundation on an annual basis. The funds generated by the Friends of the IBF support the important work that we do on behalf of the legal community in the State of Indiana to serve all its citizens.
