How We Help

Access to justice for disadvantaged citizens has been the Foundation's highest priority, followed by legal education for a wide range of audiences. The MCBF also works with other organizations within the community and contributes sponsorship dollars to their fundraising efforts.

Donate Small Arbitration Fee, Make a Big Difference
Working in partnership with the Maricopa County Superior Court, the Maricopa County Bar Foundation (MCBF) is once again encouraging attorneys assigned to arbitration to donate the $75 fee to the foundation's fundraising efforts.
The court has made it easy to contribute with a convenient Pro Bono check-off box located at the bottom of the Invoice in Support of Request for Warrant, a form provided in your arbitration packet. (Also available for downloading here.)
When an attorney checks the Pro Bono option, the arbitration fee is automatically forwarded to the foundation, where it helps fund our grant-giving program.
The foundation's Board of Trustees asks all attorneys assigned to arbitration to remember the work of the foundation when filling out their forms, and offer a thank you to all who have donated their fees in the past.
