There is confusion among some Fellows about how the College and the ACB Foundation are funded and how they spend the funds that they collect. For example, I was told by one Fellow that he didn’t intend to contribute to the Foundation because his big law firm did. Wrong.

Indeed, almost 70% of the Fellows contributed in 2018. The following charts show the funding sources as well as the use of those funds by the College and by the Foundation. I hope that they shed some light on the finances of both.
