You're ready to make Big Moves.
Don't let legal kill your momentum.
Your organization has big goals.
You’ve got a solid strategic plan in place. You’ve finally got the right people on board. And you’re out there aiming for more funding and more impact.
But you also have more questions than ever before.
And it needs to be said: your mission too important for you to be winging it (or worse—relying on free internet “advice”) when it comes to contracts, grants, IRS reporting, and all those other thorny—but wildly important—things that come with being a nonprofit.
You’re in the right place.
Personal Mentions:
I'm Ann Porter, and I help established nonprofits dream less and do more.
I’m an attorney, former leader of a major international nonprofit, and founder of this firm and 501(c)onfident™.
Before starting my firm, I spent years practicing law in top global law firms and at the U.S. Department of Justice.
But the experience that really shaped how I practice today came from serving as the General Counsel of a global nonprofit.
You don’t need me to tell you that running an organization on the inside is way different than advising one from the outside.
I’ve lived it, so I get it. And I promise you won’t find a backseat driver here.
I work only with nonprofits and their collaborators (like consultants, funders, and for-profits who want to expand their charitable impact), so you can be assured I’m 100% dedicated to, and immersed in, this world.
Every day, I help growing and ambitious organizations just like yours impress funders, give their operations a major upgrade, and ignite their programs.
Having practiced law for over a decade, I’ve supported the deployment of more than half a billion dollars in charitable funding and advised on operations across a dozen-plus countries.
Your tax-exempt status is the most powerful advantage in the tax code.
I’ll help you leverage it to amplify your mission.
Let's make sure nothing gets in the way of it.
