The Morrison & Foerster Foundation is dedicated to giving back to the communities in which we live and work. Established in 1986 as a separate nonprofit organization, the Foundation has been serving others through community-focused financial support for twenty-five years. Its mission is purely charitable.
A lasting commitment to purposeful giving is one of the hallmarks of Morrison & Foerster. The Foundation is funded chiefly by the firm's partners and receives additional support from the firm's employees and others. In 2010, the Foundation made charitable contributions of approximately $2.6 million. Over the years, it has donated $30 million to nonprofit organizations, primarily at the local level.
Charitable giving to programs serving those most in need is now more important than ever. The Foundation's board of directors is especially grateful to Morrison & Foerster partners and employees for their continued support. Together, we are committed to making a real difference, particularly for our communities’ disadvantaged children and for low-income individuals seeking meaningful access to justice.
