Emergency Disaster Relief Grant Application:

This application can only be used IF YOUR AREA OF TEXAS HAS BEEN DECLARED A NATURAL DISASTER BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF TEXAS OR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

All Emergency Disaster Relief grants must meet the mission of the Texas Bar Foundation:

The Texas Bar Foundation solicits charitable contributions and provides funding to enhance the rule of law and the system of justice in Texas, especially for programs that relate to the administration of justice; ethics in the legal profession; legal assistance for the needy; the encouragement of legal research, publications and forums; and the education of the public on the third branch of the government.

The Texas Bar Foundation awards grants only to 501(c)3 charities serving the State of Texas, and, consequently, no grants are awarded to individuals. Bar Associations, though 501(c)6 organizations, can apply for project support that fits the Foundation's mission (above). Special instructions for entities affiliated with the State Bar of Texas can be obtained by calling Foundation staff. Disaster Relief Grants will be given based on the availability of funds.
