3 "I admire the work of the Boston Bar Foundation and the tangible, positive impact of the Foundation in the lives of those who most need its help. Kimberly Butler-Rainen, Tamkin & Hochberg, LLP A GIFT THAT NOT ONLY LASTS A LIFETIME, BUT THAT CHANGES LIVES BRINGING HOPE AND HELP TO THOSE IN NEED WORKING TOGETHER TO SPARK CHANGE IN OUR CITY We believe every individual that needs to turn to the justice system should be able to fine the help they need. Access to justice is more than a noble aspiration, it means working each day to ensure adequate funding for civil legal services for those in need, to improve the effectiveness of our court system, and to provide help to low-income, underserved or special-needs populations. We invest in organizations and projects that help people learn their legal rights, leverage the strength of volunteers to provide assistance, and make a true difference in the lives of those facing problems relating to immigration, domestic violence, homelessness and more. In 2014, the BBF made $825,500 in grants to 23 organizations. We support the programs of the Boston Bar Association that focus on educating and expanding opportunities for Boston students, engaging private attorneys in pro bono service and responding to needs in our community. In 2014, we: Funded jobs for 14 Boston Public School students in the BBA s Summer Jobs program, introducing diverse students to the legal field and giving them the tools they need to succeed professionally. Helped teenagers learn to make smart choices about credit and finance through support of the M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program. Responded to critical needs in our justice system through support of the BBA Lawyer for the Day in the Boston Housing Court Program, helping to serve thousands of low-income tenants and landlords seeking relief at Boston Housing Court. Provided Boston Public Schools with the Law Day in the Schools Program, helping to educate students in first grade through high school about our justice system.
