Mission
The fund aims to maintain equal access to justice by supporting the organizations that protect the legal rights of those who cannot afford representation.
Supported Groups
It primarily funnels raised money into local legal aid groups, such as the Contra Costa Senior Legal Services (CCSLS) and Family Justice Centers, helping them keep doors open and expand capacity.
Funding Pool
Over its tenure, the Bar Fund has raised nearly $1 million for these legal non-profits.
Pro Bono Pledge
Local attorneys can commit their time or financial resources to serve underrepresented members of the community. You can check out the CCCBA Pro Bono Pledge for ways to track your service and participate.
Seek Assistance
If you are a resident in need of free or low-cost legal help, you can explore the LawHelpCA directory for local non-profit organizations that receive state-level legal trust fund grants.
