Legal, insurance and back office

The largest global pro bono legal network, covering 190+ countries. You must apply and be vetted as a member, and be at least 12 months old

Apply for membership early, since vetting takes time and you must be a year old

Network of fifteen regional US business-law pro bono providers. It refers rather than delivers, so use it to find the one covering your area

Find the regional provider covering you, then approach them rather than the network itself

Free business and transactional legal work by volunteer attorneys, not litigation. New York, New Jersey and Connecticut only

Ask for contracts, employment or governance help, not for anyone to go to court

Practical legal tools, education and community for nonprofit leaders, from the team behind For Purpose Law Group

Use it for the everyday legal questions too small to bill a lawyer for

Liability and property insurance written only for 501(c)(3)s, including D&O down to a zero deductible. Apply through a broker, and not every state is covered

Ask your broker specifically about zero-deductible directors and officers cover

Board governance education, self-assessments and a vetted consultant directory. US-law specific, so of limited use outside the US

Run a board self-assessment, and read the governance material as US law rather than universal

Outsourced nonprofit accounting from bookkeeping up to CFO level, including restricted-fund and grant allocation work. A commercial firm, not subsidized

Bring them in when restricted-fund tracking starts failing audit, rather than hiring a controller
