Why We Exist
Funders Want Operational Readiness, but
Legal and Business Support is Expensive
Nonprofits generally need legal services like:
- Formation Filing
- Governance & Bylaws Development
- Employment Issues
- Real Estate Issues
- Disputes
These services are expensive and often out of reach for newly founded and growing nonprofits.
The Gap in Nonprofit Legal Support
Finding Committed Volunteers with Legal Expertise Is Tough
Nonprofits often struggle to recruit board members or advisors who bring both time and the specialized legal know-how they need.
Free Legal Clinics Aren’t Enough
Many nonprofits turn to legal clinics staffed by law students, but these well-meaning resources often lack the experience and urgency nonprofits require.
Challenges Nonprofits Face Securing Legal Help
- Don’t know when to contact a lawyer
- Don’t think they can afford a lawyer
- Don’t know what questions to ask
- Nonprofits struggle to secure funding
- Can’t convince funders of their ability to deliver on their program objectives
- Often rely on inexperienced, free legal help, facing long waits and limited access to qualified firms.
