"If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us..."

Francis Bacon

The San Diego County Bar Foundation is the charitable arm of the San Diego County legal community, and in partnership with the San Diego County Bar Association, strives to provide access to justice by investing in sustainable results and advocacy for people and communities in our region that are impacted by poverty, abuse and discrimination.

We do this by supporting, funding, and encouraging the creation of public service programs that support the ideals of justice by delivering legal services, improving the administration of justice and promoting public understanding of the law.

Since our founding, we have donated more than $1.5 million to more than 30 legal aid and public interest organizations and grown our Board restricted endowment to more than $1.4 million.
