Charitable Allies Has Served 1,500 Nonprofits And Strives To Work With Thousands More
Charitable Allies, a nonprofit legal firm that helps other nonprofits, has served 1,500 clients. Many nonprofit organizations struggle to find legal advice that is both competent and affordable, it was this unmet need that led to Charitable Allies being founded. The team at Charitable Allies aids nonprofits during every point of the organization's journey, whether that be providing services such as drafting policies or contracts, handling nonprofit mergers, or day to day compliance advice. The firm works with many different types of nonprofits to guide them through legal requirements that can be confusing and complex.
As a nonprofit themselves, Charitable Allies has a unique insight on the requirements to operate within this realm. This insight is a contributing factor to the success of the firm as they understand the complexities of operating a nonprofit and in turn offer their knowledge to help other nonprofits be successful. Zachary Kester, CEO and Managing Attorney of Charitable Allies, says serving 1,500 clients is just the start of what the firm hopes to accomplish.
"There are over 1.6 million nonprofits in the United States, and while I'm very humbled to have worked with all 1,500 of our clients there is still so much work to be done," says Kester. "The relief that our clients have when they discover that they can indeed afford legal advice is what motivates us as a firm. We want to empower other nonprofits around the country so they can better serve their communities."
The firm charges low rates that are less than half the market value of what typical law firms would charge for the same service.
The firm is comprised of a team of lawyers with extensive knowledge working to provide legal services exclusively for nonprofits. To ensure every client's needs are met Charitable Allies has trusted partners they work with when they need additional services. This enables a collaboration of experienced professionals to come together for the client and provide them with affordable and comprehensive service that ensures the success of the nonprofit.
Charitable Allies was co-founded in 2013 by Zachary Kester who has practiced law for almost 15 years. Before founding Charitable Allies, Kester practiced law mainly for charities with a focus on tax and corporate compliance services. He is now focused on bringing legal services to nonprofits throughout the nation at an affordable rate, one nonprofit at a time.
