Active members of the ACBF’s Fellows GIVE help award grants to nonprofits for projects that increase access to justice for clients with low incomes. Fellows make an annual donation, which allows members to participate in the grant process from initial donation to the determination of final awards. Fellows get a vote and help select the programs that are awarded grants.

Fellows can make their pledge at the level of their choosing:

  • Advocate Level: $1,200 over 4 years
  • Ambassador Level: $2,400 over 6 years
  • Visionary Level: $5,000 over 8 years

Additionally, special consideration is offered for Young Lawyers Division members (who have practiced for fewer than 10 years), with the opportunity to pledge $100 for each year they have remaining as a YLD member.

Members are permitted to nominate themselves or a colleague who exemplifies the qualities of a Fellow for the Class of 2026. To nominate visit www.ACBA.org/Fellows; deadline is Tuesday, Sept. 1, in order to be included in the ACBF fall reception.
