Memorials and Tribute Gifts

Memorial & Tribute Gifts

The LGBT Bar Association Foundation of Greater New York (LGBT Bar NY) offers thoughtful, customized opportunities to honor individuals who have demonstrated a pioneering commitment to justice, community service, and LGBTQ+ legal equality.

Establishing a named memorial fund or tribute gift provides an enduring way to celebrate a loved one, mentor, colleague, or legal innovator while directly supporting the next generation of LGBTQ+ attorneys, jurists, and advocates.

• Named Scholarship Funds

  Endow or sponsor a named law school preparation or educational scholarship, such as an LSAT fund or student conference grant, to remove financial barriers for aspiring advocates.

• Fellowships & Practice Sponsorships

  Underwrite summer judicial fellowships, pro bono clinic coordinator positions, or specialized civil rights practice projects in honor of a distinguished jurist or attorney.

• Dedicated Legacy & Programmatic Endowments

  Create lasting support for key Foundation initiatives—such as the free weekly legal clinics or LGBT Law Notes archive—ensuring your honoree's impact is permanently recognized.

Our leadership team is available to work closely with you, your family, or your law firm to design a meaningful tribute that reflects your honoree’s values and legacy.
