The ACC Foundation Pro Bono Jumpstart ("PBJ") Fund grant program is currently accepting applications from ACC Chapters and Networks to provide funding for pro bono, pipeline, inclusiveness, and belonging activities that engage in-house counsel participants.
ACC Foundation supports various national bar associations to further promote inclusiveness and belonging initiatives in the corporate legal profession. The ACC Foundation also looks to engage a wide array of counsel from corporate legal departments, law firms, and legal service providers by encouraging participation and sponsorship at the educational conferences and annual meetings of these legal bars. In addition to this support, we actively seek such counsel to participate in our own educational training and presentations, as well as opportunities for subject-matter experts to serve as faculty for ACC and/or ACC Foundation programs.
ACC Foundation encourages pro bono activities that lend legal support to the members of local communities.
The ACC Foundation PBJ Grant is temporarily suspended with a planned 2026 return.
We look forward to receiving your applications at that time.
We Support the Following Organizations:
All active ACC chapters and networks are eligible to submit a grant proposal for up to $10,000 for in-person (and virtual) programs and/or initiatives that engage in-house counsel while providing pro bono (legal) services or inclusiveness and belonging initiatives.
