Nonprofit Legal Defense

Nonprofit Legal Defense Network

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.
