Welcome to ocbarfoundation.org

 

The Orange County Bar Foundation, Inc. Ò (OCBF) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization committed to keeping at-risk youth out of jail, in school, healthy and drug free through education, counseling and mentoring. The OCBF has been a leader in the field of juvenile crime diversion and citizenship education for 30 years consistently achieving positive results in the community we serve. The OCBF has provided thousands of Orange County juveniles and their families with the necessary skills to deter delinquent activity, to set goals, and to plan for a positive and productive life free of crime. Since 1990, the OCBF has provided delinquency and substance abuse prevention as well as diversion services in both English and Spanish to Orange County residents.

Society of Fellows

The Foundation's newest giving program

 

“Fellows” programs are among the most utilized fundraising techniques among Bar Foundations around the country, designed to cultivate individual lawyer and professional gifts over a multi-year period. Replicated from a model developed by the American Bar Foundation, “Fellows” programs are in essence donor societies created to recognize attorneys, judges, and other professionals and public servants who have demonstrated outstanding dedication to the welfare of their communities.

 

The Orange County Bar Foundation Board of Directors are extending invitations to become “Founding Fellows” to those individuals who have been loyal and supportive to the Foundation over the years.  This includes past and present Board members, Food & Wine Society past and present members and long term individual donors.  Each “Founding Fellow” will pledge to contribute to the Foundation a capital sum of $1,000.  Founding Fellows and Foundation Board of Directors will then nominate “Fellows” from members of the legal profession or other professions who are recognized in their respective jurisdictions as lawyers, judges, or professionals of outstanding achievement and who have demonstrated their dedication to the objectives of the Orange County Bar Foundation.  The Society of Fellows consist of four classes of Fellows.
