The Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Foundation unites the legal, business, and civic communities to advance justice and opportunity across Northeast Ohio. We expand access to legal services for those in need and build educational pathways for the next generation of legal professionals and civic leaders. Founded by the legal community and supported by philanthropic partners, we work to ensure fairness and opportunity for all.

Through the generosity of our donors like you, we harness the time and talents of Lawyers Giving Back in partnership with business and community leaders. From free legal clinics in homeless shelters, courts, and Cleveland schools to law-related education and pipeline programs that guide students from high school through college and beyond, we are strengthening our community—one person at a time.
