DALLAS WOMEN LAWYERS ASSOCIATION

FOUNDATION

Elevating the standing of women in the
legal profession through charitable giving.

Scholarships in the amount of $2,500 are awarded each year to cover bar preparation fees and living expenses for law students who have demonstrated leadership, academic excellence and service to the community and have had a positive impact on women and children.

The Foundation seeks to provide resources to assist a solo or small firm woman lawyer with the development of her legal practice, through investing in continuing legal education, career coaching, or financial assistance in establishing or growing her practice.

Charitable grants for organizations that support women in the DFW area and surrounding suburbs whose activities align with the goals of the Foundation, and have specific projects that requires financial support are encouraged to submit an application for consideration.

This grant empowered and encouraged me to invest in myself and my office…My most pressing goals have been to automate my new client process and to develop and prepare systems in anticipation of a flood of new clients. I’ve adopted the mantra to “work smarter, not harder”.
