Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Oakland County Bar Foundation is dedicated to ensuring access to justice and an understanding of the law in our community.

Activities or mission (Part I)

See Schedule O

  • The foundation provides grants to outside 501(c)(3) organizations to provide legal aid and education throughout the metro Detroit area. The primary objective is to provide legal services to low-income members of the Oakland County community. A few programs also provide legal education to students in the Oakland County school system. Legal service clinics run at different times of the year based on the provider's calendar. Clients served depend on the program and the amount of work that is required. One grant funds a legal education program that local Michigan high schools participate in dealing with the process of the legal system.

    Expenses $201,536 · Grants $161,000

  • The foundation provides a grant to the Oakland County Bar Association to fund multiple law related programs and to provide free legal education and free legal aid throughout Oakland County. The law-related education programs are geared to high school and elementary students. These programs teach students the use of the law and the importance of following it. The legal aid clinics travel throughout cities in Oakland County to provide an avenue for residents to meet with an attorney and get basic questions answered. Numbers of individuals served, and dates of the law-related education programs vary per program. In general, about 400-500 students are able to participate in OCBF funded programs per fiscal year. The clinics service anywhere from 100-300 people depending on their area of interest and location.

    Expenses $38,880 · Grants $38,880

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
