About

Since 1971, the SC Bar Foundation has granted over $60 million to law-related organizations across South Carolina.

The Bar Foundation provides funding for three primary categories of law-related nonprofits:  Administration of Justice, Civil Legal Aid and Law-Related Education. Our grantee partners work incredibly hard to provide needed assistance to victims of domestic violence, homeless families, persons denied access to necessary health care services, victims of discrimination, children in need of special education, targets of consumer fraud and the elderly. They provide opportunities for students throughout the state from elementary school and up to learn about the legal system. They also provide students the opportunity to give back to their communities through public service.

The South Carolina Bar Foundation is honored to support Our Grantee Partners.
