Nonprofit Startup Lawyer
People starting a nonprofit are called a “nonprofit founder.” Jess is a nonprofit startup lawyer, and we love working with people like you. People who are starting something that will make a difference RIGHT NOW. If you’re driven, entrepreneurial, and ready to dig in, we’re here to help you hit the ground running. Here’s how we can work together…
Nonprofit Strategy Session
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a brand-new beginner, you’ll need guidance.
This is a paid consultation. It’s paid because this is work time and it’s an opportunity for you to get educated and make an important decision whether to start a nonprofit – or not. Meeting with Meghan, New Client Guide is the first step. She is the COO at the firm and has worked with nonprofits at Birken Law for many years. Your session will start with telling your story, and what inspires you. Meghan will learn more about your particular situation; she will listen and help identify the areas where you need more information or to make a foundational choice. Meghan will understand your concerns and goals; explain your options; including estimated costs for working with us and our unique approach.
BONUS! Your session includes the Founder’s Roadmap e-course with 90+ minutes of education from Jess Birken which answers many basic questions – so you can spend the session with Meghan focused on your unique issues.
At the end of the hour, you’ll have a plan and a direction about whether you really want to start a nonprofit or not. The plan is yours to keep – setting you up for success – whether you hire us or not.
Your Nonprofit Strategy Session Includes Founder’s Roadmap
After talking to lots of people just like you, we realized that ALL founders have many of the same questions and start out making the same mistakes – yes, even seasoned professionals. We answered these questions and cleared up these myths over and over again. Jess wished she could get people this education before they came in so we could help them get to the deeper things faster.
That’s why we created Founder’s Roadmap. It’s a short online course that answers SO many of your questions. You take the course before your session. The course is 5 modules and nearly 2 hours of video time with Jess – that’s like booking 2 more sessions with Jess Birken just to answer all these questions! With Founder’s Roadmap laying the groundwork, when we sit down for a session we can really dig in and get to work uncovering the important issues you NEED to clear up before making a commitment to start.
What do past clients say?
Bonnie (founder of K9s From Carrie) came in with a lot of the same questions you have. We worked together to answer all her questions and start a new nonprofit. K9s From Carrie became a 501(c)(3) charity that made a big difference in the lives of the people (and puppies) they work with.
“We would not be where we are at if not for Jess. She is professional, knowledgeable and personable. She kept us going in the right direction. Jess is able to educate her customers, which helps us make better decisions. Our nonprofit would not be where it is today if we didn’t have the help of Jess and her firm. She is always available when we hit a roadblock. She has taught us numerous different things through the process of getting things off the ground. We still use her when something comes as we have a great amount of trust in her!”
– Bonnie Gallagher, Founder, K9s From Carrie
We love being a working with nonprofit startup founders because you are such amazing people with strong visions. Let’s make your vision a reality. No matter which option you choose, you’ll be on the path to success.
