The purpose of this grant is to allow young lawyers to engage in community service by hosting a hands-on, community or pro bono service event. Affiliates can apply for a “Holidays All Year Long” grant (a holiday-themed party for at-risk children), or can apply for funding for another type of service event, as long as the event provides a service opportunity and includes interaction between the affiliate and the local community.  The sole purpose of the event cannot be a fundraiser for a charitable cause. All funding decisions are within the sole discretion of The Florida Bar YLD and projects that are inconsistent with the activities and priorities of The Florida Bar will not be funded. The average award for this grant has been approximately $250.000 – $500.00.
