Law Dean Endowments
The Nebraska State Bar Foundation recognized two distinguished
lawyer-educators several years ago by establishing
the Lawrence Raful Fund and the Harvey and Susan
Perlman Professorship Fund. These endowments were
created in the amount of $25,000 each, which were
given in five equal installments. Each fund's principal
will be a permanent endowment with only the net income
being used. Gifts to either of the endowments may
be made at any time.
Robert and Joanne Berkshire NSBF Fund
The Berkshire NSBF Fund, a permanent endowment,
was established by longtime Foundation supporters
Bob and Joanne Berkshire. The net income is
used to help finance the
many programs of the Bar Foundation. By establishing the Fund, the Berkshires
have demonstrated generosity and a long-term commitment to the Foundation's
Law-Related Education programs. The Foundation
will use this fund to enhance current programs
and also create opportunities for new projects. The Board extends a very special
thank you to Bob and Joanne.
