Bar News - January 13, 2012 NH Bar Foundation: Justice Funds Initiative for Law Firms Launched
The Law: The NH Bar Foundation promotes philanthropy dedicated to ensuring that all people in New Hampshire, especially those of limited means, are able to understand and participate fully in the justice system. The Bar Foundation serves as the unique charitable institution for members of the NH Bar Association and other who wish to make financial gifts in the spirit of "honoring the law." The Justice Funds Initiative provides the opportunity for law firms to participate in this endeavor by creating a Justice Fund in the firm’s name. These funds can serve as a source of income for an undesignated purpose that helps the Bar Foundation fulfill its mission, or a firm can choose to direct the fund’s proceeds to a concept or entity that reflects the firm’s values. The NH Bar Foundation has partnered with the NH Charitable Foundation to provide a simple, secure way to honor your legacy. At right, we have announced the creation of the first Justice Fund, by a gift of the McLane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton law firm. Read more about this effort in the next issue of the Bar News. For more information about the Justice Funds Initiative, please contact John R. Maher, NH Bar Foundation Development Director at jmaher@nhbarfoundation.org or 603 498-6399. Or contact Jack B. Middleton, Chair, NH Bar Foundation, at jack.middleton@mclane.com or at 603 628-1446. Coming soon…Kirby Award Nominations Information coming soon on submitting nominations for the Robert E.
