The Houston Bar Foundation supports, promotes, and encourages activities for the furtherance of justice and legal education. It does this through the sponsorship and encouragement of legal research, publications, institutes, forums, and the establishment of scholarships; the institution and maintenance of legal aid facilities for the indigent or working poor and the acceptance of aid and grants from governmental and private sources; the extension of financial assistance to attorneys or members of an attorney's family who are "in need."
All attorneys are encouraged to get involved either financially or through pro bono work.
The 70th Harvest Celebration is held in the fall.
The Houston Bar Foundation Fellow pledges $2,500, payable in a single payment or $250 per year for 10 years
