Help the Mecklenburg Bar Foundation Serve Our Community In And Out Of The Courtroom!
We're strengthening our commitment to support legal services in 2026-27, but we can't do it without you.
Access To Justice Takes All Of Us

The Mecklenburg Bar Foundation is the sister organization to the Mecklenburg Bar Association and 26th Judicial District Bar. Formed in 1962, the MBF is a 501c3 organization with a mission to advance public understanding and respect for the rule of law and the role of the legal profession; to promote the highest ideals of professionalism, public service and access to the legal system; and to support the charitable and educational goals of the MeckBar.
The MBF is the only local nonprofit created by attorneys for attorneys to support the needs of the community we serve. The MBF does this through gifts to the Bar Foundation Fund. The Bar Foundation Fund is our way to give back to the community as a Bar. Through the generosity of our individual Bar members, we are able to pool our resources to make the greatest impact and to meet the greatest needs. It is an opportunity to remind the community how much attorneys give back to those around them. And we want each of you to have the opportunity to be a part of this greater good.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the MBF has awarded over $400,000 in grants to community organizations that serve our neighbors in and our of the courtroom. Please join us in strengthening this commitment to service and access to justice by supporting grants to the following organizations:
The Children's Advocacy Center of Charlotte, International House, Larry King's Clubhouse and Lift Up Carolinas.
