Fellows
The MBF Society of Fellows is a membership organization of Massachusetts attorneys and judges who are committed to giving back to the profession and supporting legal services in our state. MBF Fellows are our core supporters and a driving force behind all that we do.
Joining the MBF Society of Fellows starts with a contribution of as little as $150 per year.
In addition to financial support of the Foundation, some MBF Fellows choose to participate in the annual grantmaking process, become active in governance by serving on the board of trustees, or attend networking events held throughout the year.
The civil legal needs of low-income clients in our state far outpace the resources available to assist them. Please join us as we work together to bridge this gap.
