The El Paso Bar Foundation (the Foundation) is a charitable organization formed under the auspices of the El Paso Bar Association. The Foundation was established in 1999 to support and expand its commitments to “justice, service and professionalism” by funding important community projects. These projects include crucial legal services to needy citizens and education of the public about their rights and responsibilities under the law.

The Foundation has been granted a tax exemption under Section 501c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The voluntary tax-deductible contribution by its members supports the Foundation and its programs.

The goals of the Foundation are to support, promote and encourage activities for the furtherance of justice and legal education through the sponsorship and encouragement of legal research, publication, forums and the establishment of scholarships, assistance of the institution and maintenance of legal aid facilities for the indigent or working poor and the acceptance of aid and grants from government and private sources and the extension of financial assistance to attorney or members of an attorney’s family who are “in need” as defined under the IRS regulations.

If you would like to make a donation to the Foundation or have questions, contact Us at 915.532.7052 or info@elpasobar.com.

We are accepting applications until April 1, 2024 and will be issuing grants by May 1, 2024.
