Welcome to the Indiana Bar Foundation.

As attorneys, we have a unique level of responsibility not only to our clients, but to the community as a whole. One way to fulfill our professional responsibilities to the community is through support of the Indiana Bar Foundation. As the only statewide charitable foundation dedicated to promoting an understanding of, a respect for, and access to our system of justice, the Indiana Bar Foundation's mission is fundamental to ensuring the continued success of our third branch of state government.

It is through the dedication and commitment to our profession that the members of the Indiana legal community have enabled the Indiana Bar Foundation to have made the difference it has over the last 50 years.

There are many ways the Indiana legal community can help support the IBF. One of the most direct and easy, but yet most powerful ways to help make a positive impact is to contribute money to the Indiana Bar Foundation. Your tax-deductible donations provide the funding that enables the many wonderful statewide programs that the Foundation and the Fellows of the Foundation supports.

In addition to financial donations, there are many other ways to participate and support the mission of the IBF. Participation can be in the form of a nomination of a fellow member of the profession for one of the many awards that the Indiana Bar Foundation presents to recognize outstanding professional achievement. Participation can also be shown through enrolling in the Interest On Lawyers' Trust Accounts ("IOLTA") program administered by the IBF which awards grants to support Pro Bono projects throughout the state.

I look forward to working with the many dedicated, conscientious, and hard working members of the Indiana legal community who continue to make the Indiana Bar Foundation, The Foundation of Our Profession.
