Women aren’t just part of history; they are the architects of our future.

This Women’s History Month, The New York Bar Foundation is honoring women who have transformed the legal profession by raising funds for critical nonprofit programs across New York State. Gifts made through this campaign support the Foundation’s general grantmaking, which includes initiatives serving women and children.

Women in law are catalysts for progress, paving the way for those who follow. Their leadership has shaped our profession and countless lives.

You can honor this legacy by making a donation to the Foundation in honor of a female mentor, colleague, or friend. All donors and honorees will be recognized on the Foundation website, across social media, and in a dedicated newsletter.

This year, 25% of all Foundation grants were dedicated to initiatives supporting women and children. Help us build on this impact. Your gift strengthens justice across New York and supports programs that serve the most in need.
