Life Fellow Giving Societies

A Fellow becomes a Life Fellow after completing their initial pledge. After achieving Life Fellow status, continued support is optional; however the American Bar Foundation depends upon charitable giving in order to continue and expand its important work.

Giving Societies are opportunities for Life Fellows to continue contributing to the ABF once they have completed their initial pledge. Giving societies are as follows:

Philanthropist Fellow

Philanthropist Fellows have contributed a lifetime aggregate of $50,000 or more to the American Bar Foundation.

Visionary Fellow

Visionary Fellows have contributed a lifetime aggregate of $25,000-$49,999 to the American Bar Foundation.
