Need help scaling your work? NLA can help!

Should we set up a 501(c)(4)? Where can I get solid legal advice on a small budget? Can we endorse candidates? How do we track and report political activity? What is the best way to manage finances across multiple organizations? Can my 501(c)(3) rent or buy my 501(c)(4)’s email list? Must I report partisan activity on Twitter? 

NLA and The Capacity Shop work with bold leaders and philanthropic partners to provide Technical Assistance (TA) to answer these questions, and many more. Each week, NLA offers one-on-one appointments to new founders seeking strategic advice, referrals, and resources. Based on the founders’ needs at any given time, NLA may respond by:

• Providing a referral to a pre-vetted expert such as an accountant, attorney, coach, or consultant

• Introducing the founder to a colleague in the field or movement

• Sharing templates and models that have worked for others

• Recommending an upcoming training; and more

Services We Provide: 

• Technical Assistance & Coaching Packages for Leaders and Organizations: We partner with leaders to create and scale the full range of legal entities they need to build power, maximize impact, and win.  

• Funder Partnerships To Provide Technical Assistance: We work collaboratively with (c)(3) and (c)(4) funders to design capacity-building programs that meet the unique needs of hybrid organizations.

• Free Technical Assistance for Emerging Organizations: We provide free, rapid, one-on-one TA support and referrals to vetted experts and consultants in 30-60 minute one-on-one appointments. Sign up for an appointment here.

To date, NLA has provided TA to more than 120+ progressive organizations interested in creating or managing multiple legal entities.
