Camden County Bar Foundation . . .
Celebrating 38 years of service to the community!
The legal profession is about helping people. The Camden County Bar Foundation (CCBF) was created in 1986 to help meet that aspiration. For over 35 years, our mission has been to help meet the needs of those less fortunate as well as foster a greater understanding of our legal system. Backed by the volunteer efforts of many dedicated members, this charitable arm of the Camden County Bar Association is reaching out to help strengthen our community, and our commitment is making a difference.
The Camden County Bar Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not for profit charitable organization registered with the Office of the Attorney General of New Jersey. Contributions to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by current IRS regulations.
