The WE CARE Fund, the charitable arm of the Nassau County Bar Association, aims to enhance the quality of life for children, the elderly, and others in need in Nassau County. Since its initiation in 1988 by NCBA Past President Stephen Gassman, it has been supported by the legal community and broader public, serving as a model for similar charitable efforts by other bar associations nationally.
The grant program fostered by the WE CARE Fund focuses on distributing funds raised by both the legal profession and the general community to support charitable initiatives. These initiatives aim to substantially improve living conditions for children, the elderly, and other vulnerable groups within Nassau County. The program is designed to reflect the legal community's commitment to societal welfare, showcasing a broad spectrum of support for essential causes that address immediate needs and promote long-term community well-being.
