Dear Fellows,

In October, the Foundation Board and Circuit fundraisers launched the 2024 Foundation fundraising campaign with a very ambitious, higher-than-ever-before goal of raising $485,000. As we got closer to the end, we started getting hopeful that we would surpass that goal and maybe even come close to $500,000. We are delighted to tell you that when all of the 2024 donations were counted, we raised $521,000! All thanks to your generosity!

Since 2003, the Fellows of the College have raised over $5.1 million for the Foundation, and the Foundation has awarded over $5.6 million for more than 688 grants. Your 2024 donations will support worthy pro bono programs throughout the country as well as pipeline programs designed to insure that our industry profession remains committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. 

We are also grateful to the many Fellows who have recognized the accomplishments of their colleagues, friends and families through donations in memory or honor of them. Please click here to view the "Foundation Honor Roll."

Finally, we want to recognize the hard work of our Foundation Board and our Circuit Fundraisers who dedicated many, many hours to dial (and email) for dollars.

So let us say on behalf of the Foundation, thank you!
