Just getting started?
Turning a good idea into a 501(c)(3) is easy. Knowing what to do next often isn’t.
When you establish a nonprofit organization you are participating in a tradition older than the country itself. The ease with which you can found a charity is partially a recognition of that history, as is the assumption that citizens are best placed to know their community’s needs.
It also means that once you have your exemption, you’re not going to find a lot of guidance. 501(c)(3) status applies equally to neighborhood beautification associations with budgets of a few hundred dollars and hospital systems with tens of billions in annual revenue. Reach out and we can help you get started in the best way for your needs and goals.
Our role: giving you a clear path forward
We can’t give you a world where there are no regulations, no risk, no filings, and no compliance. What we can do is take these on so you can think as though they didn’t exist. Our mission is giving you a clear path forward, so that you can get on with your mission. Our entire job is finding complete solutions that help your organization and respect its values.
Having your own (fractional*) GC makes everything easier
We aren’t the experts on your projects. You are. What we can do is make sure everything is in place for your projects to run smoothly.
Talking to lawyers about your programs can be daunting; nobody wants to find out they’ve been doing something wrong. We can’t promise that from now on you’ll enjoy running something past legal, but we are doing some things that at least make it possible. For one, we give up-front pricing for the whole matter regardless of time, so you don’t have to watch the clock or worry about what triggers a new 15-minute billing increment. We can talk about anything that touches the matter that might be helpful without it upping your bill.
You’ll be talking to someone with a nonprofit background, a wide breadth of experience, and up-to-date knowledge on issues facing nonprofits. We created this firm to make it easy for nonprofits to access the legal advice they need because there are far too few lawyers with detailed knowledge of nonprofit law for the number of 501(c) organizations. We are working to close that gap. No issue that matters to your organization is too big or too small. While most matters are very straightforward, our downtown Brooklyn location across from the Kings County Supreme Court gives us access to several world-class law libraries. If there’s anything that might help, we’ll look into it.
