The Hispanic National Bar Foundation is a nonprofit organization in the education sector, based in Washington, DC. Founded in 1985, its work centers on expanding opportunities for Hispanic students and professionals in the legal field by providing scholarships, fellowships, and a range of programs and resources designed to build a diverse pipeline into the legal industry. The foundation aims to reduce barriers such as lack of opportunities, role models, information, and financial support, with the goal of promoting full and equal access to legal careers as the Hispanic population grows in influence. Recent leadership changes include the appointment of Justin Carlson as President in late 2023, with ongoing governance involvement evidenced by appointments to its Board of Directors. The organization operates with a team described as modest in size and serves students and early-career legal professionals seeking to advance within the profession.
