Century Fund

The Barber Law Firm Century Fund is our firm's way of giving back to the communities in which we live and serve. Nominations for the Barber Law Firm Century Fund’s designated Nonprofit Partner of the Year will be accepted yearly from June 15 to August 15.

Nomination Form

Nominations for the Barber Law Firm Century Fund's nonprofit partner are made annually through an online nomination process. Nominations will be accepted from June 15 to August 15 of each year. Qualified nominees will be considered by the Barber Law Firm Century Fund Committee, which will make a recommendation to the Members of the Barber Law Firm. The firm's Members will select the grant recipient in early September. The recipient nonprofit organization will be announced in mid- to late-September.

The selected nonprofit organization will receive a $5,000 contribution by the Barber Law Firm Century Fund. Plus, the firm will seek to create awareness of the nonprofit and its mission with both a public announcement event seeking media coverage and by placing information and a link to the nonprofit's website on www.barberlawfirm.com.
