Save the date! The 2026 Financial Institution Pro Bono Day will be held Thursday, April 30, 2026.

The Financial Institution Pro Bono Day (FIPBD^®) event brings together volunteer attorneys and legal staff from financial institutions across the country and around the globe to provide pro bono legal assistance to address critical legal needs of underserved communities. Corporate Pro Bono (CPBO), a project of Pro Bono Institute (PBI), organizes Financial Institution Pro Bono Day in partnership with the legal departments of financial institutions.

The goals of Financial Institution Pro Bono Day are to promote in-house pro bono engagement and collaboration, magnify their impact, and meet the diverse needs of underserved communities. Participating financial institutions, often working with legal services organizations and law firm partners, organize and participate in pro bono opportunities of their choice. Many opportunities are open to volunteers from other financial institutions.

For the inaugural FIPBD event on May 2, 2019, 14 financial institutions in 20 cities across the U.S. organized more than 47 pro bono events in which more than 700 volunteers from 21 financial institutions participated.  The event continues to grow each year.  The sixth annual FIPBD event took place on April 24, 2025. More than 800 in-house volunteers from 42 legal departments served 1,100 clients in the U.S. and internationally through approximately 70 pro bono opportunities and trainings.
