ARKANSAS BAR FOUNDATION MEMORIAL GIFTS

The Arkansas Bar Foundation hopes attorneys think of it when they wish to make a memorial gift honoring a family member, a colleague or a friend who was a lawyer, a judge or a friend of the profession. Memorial gifts are recorded in the Foundation’s Memorial Book and provide a lasting tribute. Memorials to the Foundation are deductible for income tax purposes and support the Foundation’s work in making scholarship funds available for law students, financing projects which support the system of justice, aiding in education of the public about legal matters, and funding other law-related charitable efforts.

Memorial gifts may be sent directly to the Foundation. The staff would appreciate having the name of the family member to whom it should send the acknowledgement.

Contributions or requests for more information may be sent to:
Arkansas Bar Foundation
