The Community Fund for Black Bar Applicants was founded by Octavia Carson, J.D. a 2020 law school graduate. Our mission is to provide at least $500 to 100 Black bar exam applicants across the United States each year. This mission stems out of a desire to diversify the legal profession and raise the percentage of Black attorneys in the United States from 5% to 20% by 2024.
We suggest donating at one of the below levels to truly make a difference!
$10 - Chipping in what I can!
$50 - I believe!!
$100 - Yes we can!!!
$500 - Sponsor one applicant!!!!
Donations are tax deductible. If you donated before and did not receive a receipt, please send us a message and we will send you a receipt for tax deductions.
You are eligible to apply if you identify as Black, African-American, or Pan African and you are preparing to take a bar exam in the United States in 2021. Each time we raise $500 we will donate it to the first applicant in line to receive a donation based on when applicants apply. You can apply multiple times but may be moved to the end of the list after you receive your first donation.
We are looking for passionate team members to helps us fundraise, process applications, manage social media posts, and communicate with donors.
We are accepting donations for applicants in the form of books, tutoring, housing, etc.
