Missouri Bar Foundation Grants

Overview

The Missouri Bar Foundation Mission

As a charitable, nonprofit partner to The Missouri Bar, The Missouri Bar Foundation seeks to advance the administration of justice, elevate the legal profession, foster public appreciation of the rule of law, and further our constitutional form of government through law-related community projects, scholarships, jurisprudential research, and recognition of exemplary legal and public service. The foundation’s work is made possible through generous donations from lawyers, law firms and other supporters.

Through tax-deductible contributions, The Missouri Bar Foundation supports and expands law-related educational and charitable programs throughout the state. Examples include:

* Printing the Senior Citizens Handbook, a guide to aid senior citizens in understanding their legal rights and responsibilities.
* Funding an annual Missouri Bar law-related educational conference for social studies teachers to help them discover new ways to teach students about the law and justice system.
* Providing funds for the legal services offices serving indigent and low-income Missourians.
* Assisting female members of the bar or their dependents who are in need via the Eunice Cutter Cox Memorial Fund.
* Funding programs by the Missouri Lawyers’ Assistance Program designed to help Missouri Bar members affected by drug or alcohol dependency.
* Giving scholarships to deserving law students from Northwest Missouri through the Henry C. McDougal Scholarship Fund.
