Nonprofit organizations sustain our civil society and fuel civic participation, but they are under attack.
Nonprofits face unprecedented challenges, from abrupt loss of grant funding to threats to tax-exempt status to rapid shifts in laws and policies affecting their work. The Nonprofit Legal Defense Network combines We The Action’s vast lawyer network and award-winning pro bono platform with Alliance for Justice’s trusted expertise in nonprofit compliance and advocacy and its first-class library of tools, training, and resources. Together, we connect nonprofits with free legal support to withstand these risks and continue their vital work.


Lawyers are a key resource in this fight.
Volunteer lawyers can help nonprofits complete risk assessments or take concrete steps to strengthen their policies and practices in areas like C3/C4 compliance, lobbying, data retention and security, employee handbooks and policies, investigation/subpoena response playbooks, executive orders (including DEI), and more.
