The Bankruptcy Bar Foundation is a legal non-profit organization that funds the pro bono activities of the Bar Association. Its primary mission is to support the Bankruptcy Assistance Clinics at local law schools as well as other bankruptcy related community projects.
Donations can be made online here.
One noteworthy example of a project funded by the Foundation is the Translation Project of the Bankruptcy Basics Video. Led by the Hon. Laurel M. Isicoff, with assistance of BBA Past-President Ross Hartog and current BBA Treasurer, Ido Alexander, the video explains the bankruptcy process to pro-se debtors in their native language. The videos are available at the following link: http://www.flsb.uscourts.gov/Pro_Se/pro_se_frame.html
