Give to gain greater justice

Join with others—judges, lawyers, law firms, citizens, corporations—to promote and improve Ohio’s justice system. We accept various assets as gifts, and we create customized funds to meet your charitable interests. We are careful stewards of our financial resources and our contributors.

Give to an Existing Fund

The Foundation holds funds from which the Foundation’s board makes grants to nonprofit organizations that have applied for support. Gifts of any size are always welcome and appreciated.

Establish a New Fund

The Foundation establishes minimum criteria and guidelines for new funds. Grants made from the fund established will always be made in the name of that fund. If you are interested in exploring the establishment of a new fund, please contact Alison Belfrage, our Executive Director for more information.


Create or Plan for a Future Fund

You may prefer to establish your fund through a bequest, estate gift, or life income gift to the Foundation. We are ready to help you make that happen. Call or email Alison Belfrage, our Executive Director, for more information.

Gifts should be made payable to “Ohio State Bar Foundation” and sent to  the OSBF, 1700 Lake Shore Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43204. Please call 614-487-4444 or email the Foundation with any questions.
