SC Bar Foundation

To promote justice by funding legal access and education.

Since 1971, the South Carolina Bar Foundation has awarded more than $60 million to various law-related organizations throughout South Carolina. The Bar Foundation provides funding for three primary categories of law-related nonprofits: (1) Administration of Justice, (2) Civil Legal Aid, and (3) Law-Related Education. Our grantee partners work incredibly hard to provide needed assistance to victims of domestic violence, homeless families, persons denied access to necessary health care services, victims of discrimination, children in need of special education, targets of consumer fraud, and the elderly. They provide opportunities for students throughout the state from elementary school and up to learn about the legal system. They also provide students the opportunity to give back to their communities through public service.
