Contribution Request Procedures and Guidelines

The SBA recognizes the value of supporting Arizona-based, legal and community organizations and would like to invite you to submit a request for financial support. We will consider solicitations for contributions not to exceed $1,000 for those events and activities that your organization is planning for 2013.  In our mission to promote diversity in the profession and within the SBA we ask that you request funding for activities promoting interaction between all members of the Bar. 

To apply, please complete the Contribution Request Form. The completed request form should be sent electronically to kathy.gerhart@staff.azbar.org.  Please do not hesitate to contact Kathy Gerhart, Chief Financial Officer, by email or at 602.340.7392 if you have questions or need additional assistance.

Request submitted will be reviewed by the SBA Finance Committee in October and considered for approval by the Board of Governors at the December 2012 meeting.  SBA notification of the status of your request will occur in January 2013.

We value your service to our community and encourage you to apply for support from the State Bar.
