ISBA Foundation: Celebrating our past while securing our future

In recognition of The Iowa State Bar Association's Sesquicentennial anniversary, the Iowa State Bar Foundation and The Iowa State Bar Association (ISBA) introduced the Secure Our Future campaign. This is a legacy moment in the history of the ISBA, and the ISBF is commemorating this historic milestone with a meaningful project that will touch as many lives as possible and impact Iowa's legal community.

The Iowa Mock Trial Program, sponsored by the Bar Foundation, perfectly fulfills these criteria. The success and impact of this program is undeniable. Over the years, thousands of middle school and high school students have participated, and countless parents, siblings, grandparents, and friends have shared in the experience, gaining an introduction to the practice of law.

The ISBA marketing and communications team created a video to highlight the Iowa Mock Trial program, which is supported by the Iowa State Bar Foundation's contributions. It showcases how these donations help foster legal skills among Iowa students, offering them the chance to participate in realistic trial scenarios that build confidence and practical experience.

To ensure the Iowa Mock Trial Program continues to benefit future generations, the ISBA and the Bar Foundation are launching the Secure our Future Campaign to raise $2 million. This goal might seem ambitious, but we are already halfway there, thanks to an extraordinary individual pledge of $1 million. This pledge will match every dollar raised through the membership, doubling the impact of your contribution. A $5,000 pledge is now worth $10,000 toward our goal. Your contribution will make a significant difference in securing the future of this impactful program.
