Donors

Building a Stronger Foundation
The South Carolina Bar Foundation thanks our Justice Legacy benefactors, Liberty Legacy donors and Society of Justice contributors. Your generous gifts permit the Foundation to enhance the legal profession through initiatives that fall outside of the IOLTA grants program.

The Weinberg Society

In December 2009, the Foundation received a generous gift from the estate of Rusty Weinberg Jr. of Sumter. In his honor, the Foundation established The Weinberg Society. The Society includes those who have made planned gifts of $10,000 or more to the Foundation as well as those who have made a bequest.

Learn more about planned giving at your Bar Foundation.

FOUNDATION PATRONS

Donors who made gifts of $25 or more during FY 2011 are listed in our annual report.

FOUNDATION FELLOWS

In 1978, Claude Scarborough led the effort to establish the Fellows Program of the South Carolina Bar Foundation to encourage attorney contributions and to establish a membership program that called upon attorneys to uphold the banner of equal justice.  From a founding base of 97 Founding Fellows to a current membership of over 500 attorneys, the Fellows Program illustrates the confidence that we have in our profession and the commitment we share to the principle of justice for all. 

The Bar Foundation is grateful to these lawyers who have supported the Fellows Program. Bar Foundation’s Fellows will forever be recognized on our Web site. To see the list of Fellows, please visit here.
