Organization Startup
I know that starting up any new venture can be daunting. I will help eliminate the stress of starting your new nonprofit or for-profit business while also making sure your organization is set up properly on a state and federal level.
International Grantmaking
Grants to international organizations require more documentation than grants to domestic organizations. I will make sure the requisite research and documentation is completed and, if necessary, will help your organization track your grants so that you can be assured that it is being used for the designated purpose.
Bylaws and Corporate Agreements
Bylaws and operating agreements are the rules by which an organization lives by, and I can draft and advise on them so your organization will have clear guidance on important issues, such as resolving conflicts of interest and self-dealing problems.
Fundraising
Fundraising can be either a fun or a difficult process but it is essential for any nonprofit organization. I aim to cut through the difficulty to make fundraising as fun and accessible as possible.
Business Planning & Consulting
A nonprofit organization is like a business and that requires a plan to help it run as efficiently as it can. I can help craft a plan that will ensure your business flourishes and advise on the duties and responsibilities of your board and officers.
Board Disputes & Mediation
Organizations are like families, and like all families, there might be differences. I can help review, advise, and mediate those differences according to the organization's bylaws so you can resolve those issues as quickly as possible.
Tax Advice
Are you better off as a LLC, C-Corp or an S-Corp? Certain activities of exempt organizations may trigger a tax or can even cause you to lose your tax-exempt status! These are complicated issues, and I will work with you to make sure you understand all rules and regulations
Contracts
From employment contracts to grant and project agreements, I can draft new contracts or review your existing contracts so that your organization can work as efficiently as possible.
Project Planning
Sometimes your organization may want to take on projects instead of grants and donations. While that can be daunting, I can advise on the legal side so you have the proper documentation for your projects.
