Society of Fellows

"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.

Funds raised through the Society of Fellows will help sustain the mission of keeping at-risk youth out of jail, in school, healthy & drug free through education, counseling and mentoring. Each year the Foundation will host a Society of Fellows event to honor members and select one member to receive the Distinguished Fellows Award. Fellows will also receive a Certificate of Membership, a Society of Fellow lapel pin that identifies them as a Fellow member, and recognition at Foundation events & publications. To find out more information about the Society of Fellows please contact Nancy Garcia, Associate Director via email at ngarcia@ocbarfoundation.org or by phone (714) 480-1925 ext. 108.
