Non-Profit and Charitable Organizations

MacElree Harvey's attorneys provide comprehensive representation and sophisticated legal services to non-profit organizations. We appreciate that non-profits provide vital services to their communities, and that they also face special challenges of complying with complex and constantly changing regulations that pertain exclusively to them. We deliver practical legal advice in a timely and cost-efficient manner, enabling our 501(c)(3) and other non-profit organization clients to achieve their goals.

In every engagement, our objective is to deliver sophisticated and practical legal advice to our non-profit clients. As part of our commitment to the community, our attorneys go beyond merely providing traditional legal services to non-profits. Our desire to extend our clients' impact in the community means that we frequently serve as trustees, board members, general counsel, and executive officers for our non-profit clients. Our mission is to help our non-profit clients succeed in theirs.
