50 for 50 matching Campaign

At the Earl B. Gilliam Bar Foundation, our mission is to expand opportunities for aspiring Black law students and support the next generation of diverse legal leaders. Every scholarship, mentorship, and program we provide helps open doors that create lasting change in our community.
For 2025, President Jonathan Andrews personally matched $3,300, bringing our total to $6,600 raised for the 2025 Matching Justice Challenge - enough to fund two scholarships!
For 2026, in honor of the Foundation's golden anniversary, President Andrews has pledged to match up to $25,000 ($50,000 total donation)! With the 50 for 50 Challenge, your gift will go twice as far. 100% of your donation will directly support scholarships.
