Application:Apply here and someone will follow up with you soon.
Fee: $25 per organization upon acceptance. This fee supports Lawyers Clearinghouse, however you may still attend without it if it is difficult to pay.
If you have a vision for helping people and making a difference, it is important to consider the different kinds of legal entities that might enable you to turn your idea into a reality.
Join the Tax-Exempt Organizations Section of the Boston Bar Association and Lawyers Clearinghouse for a two-part workshop and consultation on choosing a legal entity for social impact projects.
This event will start with a one-hour presentation reviewing the pros and cons of:
Working on social impact projects as an individual, or with a group of people;
Volunteering with a mission-aligned nonprofit;
Fiscal sponsorship;
Unincorporated associations;
For-profit entities (LLC, corporation, benefit corporation); and
Nonprofit corporations.
Attendees will then pair up with volunteer attorneys for one-hour private consultations to further explore the possibilities for their respective project ideas.
This event is great for anyone thinking about forming a nonprofit or other type of mission-oriented entity. Space is limited; sign up soon!
