Dedicated Services to Assist Non-Profits

With more than 15 years of experience in the non-profit world, Ann has a firm grasp of the challenges facing non-profit organizations and the complexities of managing them. Our firm has a strong belief in the importance of non-profits and we are dedicated to doing everything we can to help them succeed.

Unfortunately, non-profit directors are often pulled in multiple directions as they juggle funding, tax issues, employee management, and meeting their organization's goals. With so many responsibilities, it is easy for non-profits to fall behind and run afoul of state, federal and local compliance laws. We help our clients ensure their organization has a strong legal foundation.

    Our firm provides a broad range of legal services to non-profit organizations, including:

  • Non-Profit formation: defining your organization's purposes, establishing organizational form and governing body, acquiring tax-exempt status, drafting corporate documents
  • Compliance with federal and local laws: requirements for maintaining tax-exempt status, reporting and disclosure requirements, rules governing charitable giving, fund raising, lobbying and political activities, rules pertaining to private foundations, board member protection and liability
  • Employment issues: background checks for board members and officers
  • Joint ventures: handling the legal issues concerning joint ventures with non-profits and for-profit entities including negotiating and drafting contracts
  • Intellectual property: applying for and protecting copyrights or trademarks and obtaining licenses to use copyrighted materials
  • Consulting services: needs assessments, identifying areas that fit your organization's mission and goals, designing programs, identifying partners, implementing programs, designing and implementing advocacy strategy, identifying funding sources, in-depth monitoring and evaluation, assessing internal operations, monitoring field offices and staff, field research and writing reports
