Membership in the 77 Society is extended to individuals whose gifts to the DC Bar Foundation total $1,000 or more each fiscal year (October 1 - September 30). Named in honor of the year DCBF was founded, the Society recognizes the generosity of our donors as well as the impact their support has on low-income District residents in need of civil legal aid.

BENEFITS

​

Individual donors play a critical role in the Foundation’s ability to provide access to justice for thousands of DC residents each year. To show our gratitude, we proudly offer the following benefits to all current 77 Society members:  

​

• Recognition by class and tier on the DC Bar Foundation’s website, in the Annual Report, and in a Washington Lawyer ad

• Invitation to our annual President’s Reception, an event exclusively for 77 Society members

• Monthly DCBF newsletter – special welcome feature, as well as an invitation to be profiled in the newsletter

• Invited to participate in DCBF events, special program updates, and site visits

• Advance notice of major DCBF news
