Testimonials

We are so glad that we were referred to CA.

Quentin was amazing to work with and incredibly kind. He helped answer our questions and never made of us feel uncertain about what we were doing. Victoria was helpful and friendly and made logistics easy. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to start or manage a non-profit!

Daniel Stec

They’re fast, responsive, and effective.

Charitable Allies has streamlined the chaotic process of electoral and legislative compliance in 50 different states into an easy to manage process for us. They’ve helped our organization reach new levels of effectiveness by dealing with the legal burden that would otherwise slow issue advocacy organizations to a crawl.

Charitable Allies , I can’t thank you enough for the amazing work you’ve done on this case

Despite the challenges, you stayed the course to ensure that my case was not only handled with nothing short of shrewd strategy and dignity but gave me hope during a very difficult time of my life. Mimi and Katie, two top-notch attorneys, did an amazing job!! Had it not been for them, I don’t know where I would be. I’m so grateful that you were able to help me get back control of my nonprofit and pave the way for a campaign that I know will help us have an even greater impact.

Charitable Allies made the process for becoming a not for profit headache free.

From the first encounter with Victoria to finishing the project with Quentin. Everyone was friendly and responsive. Would recommend them to anyone that is starting a not for profit.

I have been using Charitable Allies services for over four years

With the last 2.5 utilizing their work on retainer as we grow our human resources, board development & professionalization, and evaluate risks to our organization and the types of insurance we need to mitigate those risks. Their team is professional, can move at a fast pase when needed, and their attorneys are surpisingly creative in finding the paths to meet the needs of our mission when we hit time or budget crunches. I reccomend Zac and his team for your legal needs or even to help you evaluate your organization and board to find the risks you didn’t know were there. I have peace of mind knowing my organization is ready to face whatever comes next!
