NLLI is a nonprofit corporation with a charitable mission, just like its clients. There are close to two million registered charities in the United States, with more being created every day. As reported by Forbes magazine, half of newly registered charities fail during the first twelve months. Why do they fail? The three most significant reasons are:

· Lack of sufficient funding

· Inexperienced leadership

· Legal mistakes

NLLI's mission is to give nonprofit leaders the knowledge, skills and confidence to successfully create and govern nonprofit organizations that fulfill a charitable mission.

The “ripple effect” of NLLI’s mission multiplies exponentially its charitable impact by improving significantly the combined charitable impact of all its clients.

It does so in three major ways:

1. By providing "state of the art" legal advice and counseling at every stage of a nonprofit's existence.

Mike Goulding is a licensed attorney with over 45 years' experience working with tax-exempt nonprofits.

He will personally work with you to ensure that you are fully aware of both the legal requirements and available benefits that apply to nonprofits.

When a question arises, he will explain the risks and rewards of each alternative so that you and the other leaders in your organization can make the best decision.

Very few consultants have the education and experience even to recognize when an issue arises, let alone to provide practical legal advice to resolve it.

2. By providing expert training and coaching to your organization's leadership on how to be leaders, not managers. [Learn more] [Embedded video]

Mary Goulding has over 20 years' experience as a coach that started with the Franklin-Covey organization.

She specializes in helping nonprofit leaders develop practical skills like communication, delegation, conflict resolution, accountability, and more.

NLLI is the only nonprofit specialty firm that, as a 501(c)(3) charity, and bridges the gap between preparing and filing the registration paperwork and empowering the organization's leaders to successfully pursue their mission for years to come.

Other for-profit firms will incorporate you, obtain tax exemptions, and provide other organizational paperwork, but they have no solution for ensuring your success as an ongoing organization once those ministerial tasks are completed.

3. As a legal aid organization, by providing our services on a pro bono basis or at "low bono" rates, we strive to reduce or eliminate your financial stress. [Learn more]

“Low bono” rates are at less than 50% of what other comparable experts charge.

When we do charge a fee, we prefer a fixed fee to provide transparency and predictability for both parties.

NLLI seeks tax-deductible donations from the public as well as grants from foundations and businesses to fund its charitable activities.
