Open Door Fund
The NCBA+NCBF are committed to recognizing, respecting, promoting and encouraging diversity in the legal community.
The NCBF Open Door Fund and Fellowship demonstrate our ongoing commitment to improving access to legal services and diverse participation in the legal profession. The Open Door Fellowship, launched in 2023, signals a collective commitment and desire to welcome all who want to serve the people of North Carolina through the legal profession.
We have exceeded our $1 million goal! Thank you to all our generous donors for making this happen.
The goal of $1 million was reached and has secured the Open Door Fund to provide for the Open Door Fellowship for many years to come. Your gift or pledge helped us reach this amazing goal. The Open Door Fund of the NCBF Endowment is made possible through the generous support of law firms, legal organizations, corporations and individuals across North Carolina and we thank you for your generosity!
