Nonprofit Consultation: Bylaws (Virtual)

Application: Apply here and someone will follow up with you soon. You do not need to be a 501(c)3–prospective nonprofits are also welcome. If your organization is an existing nonprofit, you will also be asked to provide a copy of your current bylaws to complete your application.

Fee: $25 per organization if you are approved to attend. This registration fee supports Lawyers Clearinghouse, however if it is difficult to pay, you may forego paying it.

Bylaws are a core governing document and helpful roadmap. Good bylaws provide a clear structure for governance, including electing or replacing directors and officers, officers’ roles and responsibilities, holding meetings, and key organizational policies.

Join us for a pro bono legal consultation on your nonprofit bylaws. The Nonprofit Bylaws Consultation includes a 40-minute presentation on bylaws basics, followed by a 45-minute private session between your organization and volunteer attorneys from the Boston Bar Association. The attorneys will review your current bylaws or assist in creating new ones, answer questions, and provide guidance.

The Nonprofit Bylaws Consultation is a one-time, free legal consultation designed for any nonprofit looking to change, update, or create bylaws.
