How does the CBF determine the organizations that can be considered as qualifying donations for the Statement of Principles?
The organizations on the list all have been carefully vetted by the CBF through its organizational support grant process, an objective and thorough screening process that confirms these organizations are good investments in our pro bono and legal aid system. This list will be periodically updated; more information on the CBF’s grant process is available here. Contributions to other organizations that promote access to justice for vulnerable Chicagoans can be considered in determining whether a firm meets the Gold or Platinum standards for the Leadership Circle.
