About the Foundation

The Macomb County Bar Foundation (the Foundation) was established in 1992 as a tax exempt 501 c (3) organization to receive and administer tax deductible contributions for the benefit of citizens of Macomb County. The Foundation was envisioned as a vehicle for Macomb County lawyers and other interested citizens to make charitable contributions for the tangible, meaningful benefit of the community from which lawyers derive their livelihoods.
