Welcome from the President

Welcome to the homepage of the International Bar Association Foundation, Inc.  The Foundation is a US-based charitable foundation, created in 1986 to engage in a wide variety of educational and charitable activities related to advancing the rule of law.  While the Foundation was created by members of the International Bar Association, and works closely with the IBA and other organizations affiliated with the IBA, it is an independent entity whose mandate permits it to support a broad range of law-related undertakings.

In the material that follows you will find information about the Foundation, its mission, its officers and trustees, and some of the activities it has recently funded.  For those seeking a grant from the Foundation, we have set out detailed guidelines to inform you of our funding criteria and to assist you in that process.

For others, we hope to present a picture of the Foundation that will encourage an interest in its work.  For some, that interest may be expressed by financial support.  We greatly appreciate all donations; the Foundation’s only regular source of support is the contributions of individuals. 

We hope you will also want to become involved in the Foundation’s activities in other ways – by providing suggestions and ideas and by identifying other organizations with which the Foundation might work.  We welcome your interest, your ideas – and your energy.  If you believe you have something to offer, let us hear from you.

Sincerely,

Philip F Zeidman
