Nonprofits operate under a unique set of legal obligations
But that shouldn’t get in the way of doing meaningful work. We help mission-driven organizations stay compliant, protected, and focused on their purpose.
Whether you’re starting a new nonprofit or advising an existing board, we provide practical guidance on formation, governance, and day-to-day compliance.
Our services are tailored
To the size and goals of each organization, with a focus on balancing regulatory requirements with real-world operational needs.
We support nonprofits throughout their full lifecycle—from incorporation and tax exemption to conflict-of-interest policies, governance updates, and dissolution. We also prepare filings with the New York Attorney General’s Office, including real property petitions and approvals required for closure or reorganization.
Our goal is simple: help you operate confidently and lawfully so you can stay focused on your mission.
