The Fund for Justice and Education (FJE) was created in 1961, as the Fund for Public Education, to allow the American Bar Association to solicit and accept tax-exempt gifts and grants in support of law-related public service and educational programs of the Association.

Today, the FJE supports nearly 200 ABA programs and services that:

Our mission cannot be fulfilled without the continuous support from the Association, the American Bar Endowment, ABA members, individual lawyers and law firms, corporations, foundations and government agencies.

The FJE qualifies as an exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and is of the type described in Section 509(a)(3). All gifts and contributions to the FJE are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
