The Foundation of the Federal Bar Association has established a Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief Fund. The monies donated to this fund will be used to support legal assistance and/or professional support for those affected by this tragedy. The Foundation’s board has already allocated $10,000 to the fund and additional donations have also been received. One hundred percent of the money donated to this fund will go directly to the relief effort; no administrative overhead or fees will be charged. The fund offers a unique opportunity to directly assist the legal community and those needing legal aid in the affected areas. Donations are now being accepted online at the Foundation's web site
