The MBF Annual Fundraising Campaign is Happening Now!

Please support the Multnomah Bar Foundation with a tax-deductible charitable donation. When you support the work of the MBF, you're giving back to the community, improving access to justice, and supporting the court system. Our fundraising goal of $120,000 will sustain operations for our Multnomah CourtCare, CourtSupport and CourtConnect programs, and provide funding to develop future projects that support the court and benefit the community. Donations made by May 31 receive special recognition.

Donate here:

The Multnomah Bar Foundation "To increase the public's understanding of the legal system, to promote civic education, public participation and respect for the law, to improve the quality and administration of the legal system, and to support programs and projects related to the MBF's purpose."

Please consider a year-end charitable donation to continue the good work of the Multnomah Bar Foundation. Donations made by December 31 will receive special recognition in the Multnomah Lawyer.

All donors will be acknowledged on the MBA website. Your tax-deductible gift will help promote civic education and engagement, close critical funding gaps in areas impacting access to justice, and improve the quality and administration of the legal system through the CourtConnect, CourtSupport, and Multnomah CourtCare programs. Donate here.
