On June 10, 1997, the Roanoke Bar Association Foundation was established to improve and facilitate the administration of justice, to promote the diffusion of knowledge of the law, and to effect such other educational and charitable purposes as the trustees from time-to-time shall determine.

Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded $89,000 in scholarships through the James N. Kincanon Scholarship and in grants for community and other civic purposes.  

In 2006, Santa in the Square was established which provides a holiday party for children and their parents who are living in shelters in our area during the holiday season.

The Trustees include the immediate Past President of the Roanoke Bar Association, who serves as chairman, the President, President-Elect, and Secretary-Treasurer of the Roanoke Bar Association.

The Foundation has been designated a 50l(c)(3) charitable organization.  Tax-deductible contributions by RBA members further the work of the Foundation and are appreciated.  Checks should be made payable to the Roanoke Bar Association Foundation and mailed to:
