We generally charge “low bono” rates, which means that we charge below 50% of fair market value for our services. We also offer one free initial consultation for each nonprofit organization and tons of free educational resources on our website, which we are able to provide through the generous support of our donors. In your initial consultation, a team member can provide you with options and will give you pricing information based on what nonprofit legal services your organization needs. Often, we’ll be able to provide a range of options so you can find one that suits your goals and budget.
