Florida Bar Foundation Children’s Legal Services grants support legal assistance to poor children in critical areas that affect their safety, well-being and future development. Children’s Legal Services include help for foster children and children in need of health benefits or special educational assistance.

Bar members can support Children’s Legal Services by adding a donation to their Bar Fee Statement total. Last year lawyers contributed $206,000, enough to serve roughly 286 low-income children. This year’s goal is to raise $350,000, making it possible for Bar members to fund legal assistance to 486 children, or 200 more than last year. Because of the significant drop in IOTA revenue, which has reduced funds available for Children’s Legal Services, your contribution is more important than ever.

Your donation of $100 — or any amount — will help support children in need in your community and in communities across the state.

Please give generously on your Bar Fee Statement, or give online now.

The Foundation does not deduct any administrative expenses from the funds raised through the Bar Fee Statement, so 100 percent of your donation will go to help children in need of legal assistance.
Your generosity will make a difference.
