Who Are Our Members

Once nominated and then elected by the Board of Trustees, each new Fellow makes a commitment to give a $2,500 gift to the Texas Bar Foundation. This gift can be completed immediately, or there is flexibility to pay $250 per year for ten years. Upon completion of the gift, a Fellow becomes a permanent member of the Texas Bar Foundation with the distinction of Life Fellow. A Life Fellow who continues to make annual financial contributions of 10% or more of their original pledge to the mission of the Texas Bar Foundation becomes a Sustaining Life Fellow.  The financial support we receive from our Sustaining Life Fellows is of particular importance because 100% of these contributions go directly to the grants program.
