Kentucky Bar Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit charitable organization established in 1958 that works to improve access to justice and expand legal knowledge. The private company is based in Frankfort, KY. It serves as the philanthropic arm of the state's legal community, bringing together attorneys, judges, and partners to address gaps in legal help, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children, abuse survivors, and veterans. The foundation manages the Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Accounts (IOLTA) program, which pools interest from lawyers’ trust accounts to fund civil legal aid, pro bono programs, law student fellowships, and justice initiatives. It offers various giving options and encourages contributions from the public and legal community to support its mission.
