The Hispanic Bar Association of Pennsylvania Legal Education Fund ("HBALEF") was created by members of the Hispanic Bar Association of Pennsylvania. It is a non-profit organization duly incorporated on March 4, 1988 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. The HBALEF is a non-member, non-stock corporation which has been accorded tax-exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
