The AAML Foundation thanks all the donors who participated generously in our annual Billable Hour Campaign. These donations will enable the Foundation to fund and award approximately $322,000.00 in grants this year to charities all over the country. This represents the largest amount of grants given in one year since the inception of the Foundation. The 2025-2026 grant recipients will be announced next month.
We look forward to thanking each of you at the Foundation Reception at the University Club during the upcoming Annual Meeting. The Foundation has much planned for those of you who are attending the Annual Meeting.

We hope you’ll be able to attend these events with your friends and colleagues and participate in all we do in helping families and, particularly children, who have been negatively impacted by the breakup of the family unit – whether that breakup was the result of physical or mental abuse, substance abuse, financial devastation, abandonment, or mental illness. Whatever the cause, the Foundation is there to help with the aftermath.
