     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Foundation of the Federal Bar Association Charter Amendments Act of 2021&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill revises the federal charter for the Foundation of the Federal Bar Association.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, the bill (1) eliminates the provision that requires the foundation to be incorporated and domiciled in the District of Columbia; and (2) requires the board of directors to decide, and specify in the bylaws, the location of the principal office. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Additionally, the bylaws&amp;#8212;not the charter&amp;#8212;must provide for the terms of membership, the responsibilities of the board of directors, and the election of officers. A director or officer, in his or her corporate capacity, is prohibited from contributing to, supporting, or participating in political activities. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill allows income and assets of the corporation to be used to reasonably compensate or reimburse expenses of an officer, director, or member; to award a grant to the Federal Bar Association chapter of an officer, director, or member; and to reasonably compensate employees. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Furthermore, the bill expands a prohibition on loans for directors and officers to include members and employees.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Finally, the bill specifies that on dissolution or final liquidation, any remaining assets must be distributed as provided by the board of directors instead of deposited in the Treasury. &lt;/p&gt;
