Our Work

Promoting Access to Justice

At the San Diego County Bar Foundation, our unwavering dedication is to support organizations that ensure access to justice for all. The San Diego County Bar Foundation’s singular focus is to bolster the critical work of San Diego’s legal aid and nonprofit organizations.

Raising Vital Support

Each year, we provide essential financial support to nonprofit legal aid organizations. Our grants empower these organizations in their crucial work of helping a diverse spectrum of individuals navigate the often-complex legalterrain. By fostering partnerships with these legal aid providers, we strengthen the foundation of our community’s access to justice. We actively engage attorneys, law firms, corporate legal departments, vendors, and businesses who share our commitment to equal access to justice. Through their generous donations and sponsorships, we’ve built a formidable alliance dedicated to advancing our mission.

Building System-Wide Capacity

Our foundation plays a unique role in the legal landscape.


The San Diego County Bar Foundation is not a legal service provider; rather, we serve as a critical source of financial support to legal aid organizations equipped to help those in need. By raising public support in the form of grants, we work to strengthen the legal aid and pro bono systems.
