Lawyers Supporting Community

As the charitable arm of the Johnson County Bar Association, our Foundation supports local projects with a connection to the legal community. We also maintain an annual grant program that supports children and family-related charities and organizations.

Our Mission

Helping Those Who Help Others

Since day one, we’ve made it our mission to provide support for children and family-related charities and harness the power of the legal community to empower connection, opportunity and positive change in Kansas City. We are lawyers helping the community by promoting – on behalf of the legal profession – good works which advance our local system of justice, or support children and family-related organizations.

Our Impact

$2 Million in Charitable Contributions

Since our inception in 1988, the Bar Foundation has helped raise more than $2 million for 30+ local charities including: Sunflower House, Kansas Foster and Adoptive Children, Head Start, Habitat for Humanity, The Gift of Life, SAFE, KVC and many, many more.

Our History

Leaving a Legacy of Good

In 1988, leaders of the Johnson County Bar Association started a project to develop a charitable branch of the Association. Their work led to the development of the Johnson County Bar Foundation – a 501c3 charity.

What started with just a few lawyers has grown to more than 400 members and 200 Fellows. Today, the Foundation continues its legacy of providing charitable support to Kansas City-area families and legal-related organizations.
