At SRH Law, we take our inspiration from our clients’ good work. Since the beginning days of our firm, we’ve been lucky to work with nonprofit organizations that are committed to their missions of enacting positive social change, supporting individuals and communities, and protecting the environment. Our clients include a wide variety of nonprofit and cooperative organizations of different sizes, including public charities and foundations.
We provide strategic legal advice and planning services to help our clients structure and operate their organizations properly and efficiently, so they can focus on doing good work in the community. We assist organizations at all stages of development – whether you are ready to form a new nonprofit entity and apply for tax exemption, or you need assistance winding down or merging an existing organization. In between, we help keep nonprofits running smoothly by advising on compliance and governance questions including reviewing and updating governance documents, assistance with policy updates, and assessing new programs or activities for compliance risks.
How can we help your organization do good work? Here’s how we’ve helped nonprofit clients:
- Start-up and formation of nonprofit entities
- Organizational governance advice
- Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws – drafting, reviewing, and updating
- Policy development and review
