Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta Inc

My organization, Girl Plus Environment, has been working with PBPA for the past three years and we've had nothing but positive experiences. PBPA has helped us to develop so many important policies and procedures for our organization and their team is always available to answer questions that we have. Our ED also participated in the PBPA Bootcamp which was very beneficial for our org while we were in our beginning stages!

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta is doing GREAT work! They work with Atlanta's most competent lawyers to assist non-profits with legal matters. They are extremely welcoming and thorough which helps me feel confident in their work.

I have had legal questions that I did not know how to proceed but I then asked Pro Bono and was given the best direction on each topic.

Pro Bono Partnership has been amazing for us. They have provided so much assistance over the years to help ensure that our 501c3 nonprofit stays compliant and avoids any major pitfalls as we continue to grow. Their assistance is priceless and always keeps our best interests in mind.

As a small nonprofit, budgeting for legal counsel and advisement is a challenge. That's why we love Pro Bono! Their expert team, and the hundreds of attorney volunteers they work with, have provided us such great support over the years. We've engaged them on many legal matters, we've taken advantage of their webinars and website resources, and we are confident that we are in compliance with the laws related to maintaining our 501c3 in good standing. Thanks, Pro Bono!

Small nonprofits with limited budgets don't have easy access to legal services. Pro Bono Partnership's work has made our mission possible. I never imagine that a small nonprofit like ours would require legal help, but I soon learned that we live in a very litigious society. The volunteer lawyers matched with our organization have provided truly vital counsel that has enabled us to continue our work. We are so grateful to be a beneficiary of Pro Bono Partnership's work.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta is a gift to the nonprofit community! Their team seamlessly provides legal assistance that would otherwise be unattainable. Thank You, PBPA!

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta is so important to Atlanta area nonprofits. I have worked with PBPA for 12 years at two different nonprofit organizations. The lawyers that have helped have done an amazing job and this partnership has saved both my organizations thousands and thousands of dollars. Note to nonprofits working with PBPA - be certain to enter the projects with PBPA as in-kind gifts in your system and please make sure to appreciate the organization because they are working very hard to connect you with the services of the kind lawyers who assist you. PBPA is our largest nonprofit, in-kind donor, most years, and we are very fortunate to have this group to turn to. Thank you PBPA!

We had our first ever legal check up as a nonprofit with PBPA and they made the whole process comfortable and smooth. It was an amazing experience and look forward to working with them on all of our projects.

We have worked closely with Pro Bono for a few years now and it has been a phenomenal experience. They provide subject matter expertise that as a fellow non-profit in capacity building mode, we could never afford. All of our interactions and working relationships have been stellar and we are so grateful.

We wanted to purchase a building in which to house an emergency shelter. The property was owned by the bank. They wanted us to accept full responsibility for the whole loan from the precious owner. Probono Atlanta went to bat for us....and it took a minute...but they finally convinced the bank to allow us to purchase the property for the amount owed. The lawyers were exceptionally patient and professional with our many questions and lack of experience in this area.
We have gone to PPA on several occassions with much less complicated issues and they handled them all, again, providing the needed information in and help in a timely manner.
This is a great organization and a life saver for small non profits who do BIG work like ours.

We are so grateful for the assistance Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has provided our non-profit over the last year. Every interaction has been pleasant and extremely helpful. Not only has their assistance saved our organization money which can then be used to provide our clients services but they have made sure our agency is legally compliant with all of our requirements.

ProBono has helped us in creating a sound foundation for our small nonprofit so we can have a sound foundation as we expand. They have assisted us with making sure our policies and procedures are legally sound.

Pro Bono has significantly helped us with restructuring our Charity's Charter and By Laws.

Pro Bono Partnerships has made my life easier, so I can focus on our mission and the program. I just can't imagine not having them by my side to work through any issues I may have. On top of helping me, they offer newsletters that keep me informed of any changes in the law that may affect nonprofits, to hosting podcasts and webinars on important changes we need to be aware of. They are always there to help. The staff is top notch, friendly and professional.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has tremendously helped our organization. They have wonderful volunteers who quickly respond to our needs.

Please feel free to share this testimonial publicly. We are proud to support PBPA and share our positive experience.

The NPO, I founder, have worked with PBPA for over 10years. They’ve helped me with Volunteer Applications, Trademark Application, Waiver of liability forms, and board of directors clauses among innumerable legal advise requests. They’re always professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Highly recommended

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has helped us connect with great attorneys around Atlanta on a number of important projects. Those include the rewriting of our bylaws and articles of incorporation, a review and editing of our volunteer waiver and youth camp waiver, assistance with an important property tax issue, collection assistance on outstanding contract invoices, the creation of several standardized contract documents, and several other topics, all in the first year working together! Staff are highly skilled and responsive and the organization is well run, which is a key reason so many attorneys volunteer through them to help non profits like ours.

We are a small cultural non-profit that has worked hard over the years, We deal with school groups and teachers; have galleries and exhibitions; and produce live programming. But we had processes and manuals that were out of date. We had a complicated lease to negotiate and intellectual property we didn't know how to manage. We are now connected to terrific legal assistance thanks to Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta. We feel that we now have the guidance we need to move forward and grow. PBPA is always there when we need them and we appreciate their help immensely. We are so pleased to have had the opportunity to be part of their network of clients.

I've had several issues arise and each time, I was able to reach someone from Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta to assist and resolve.

This is the best affordable service ever!

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has truly been a gift to our organization. They have a tremendous amount of legal resource that positively impacts non-profits such as ours. We have been well informed and served by PBPA and will continue our relationship with them resting assured that we will continue to receive excellent service.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has been a critical partner in helping us start, build, and scale our organization. The work that they do is beyond helpful. Each and every attorney that we worked with has been very helpful and a pleasure to work with. The vast expertise that is available through PBPA is beyond what we expected. We cannot thank this partner enough!

This nonprofit helps support so many other nonprofits in our community and is such a great resource!

Pro Bono has provided us with over 14 years of great service. We have had the same attorney for all this time and she has been invaluable to empower us to grow with sustainability. Attorneys who have volunteered to help us through the years, have completed many projects for us always with the same degree of expertise and pleasant professionalism. Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, Inc. has been a key partner to allow Ser Familia, Inc. to serve the Latino community in Atlanta for over 22 years.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has been a tremendous help to us! Our nonprofit has been going through a merger and assumption of operations with another nonprofit, and Cody was amazing, taking charge of all the necessary actions for us to merge in Georgia and dissolve the other organization in Vermont. He was awesome to work with! We were concerned about affording the legal costs, and with Pro Bono Partnership Atlanta, that was all covered!!!

My name is Earnest Williams, Board Chair of Every Woman Works and have had the honor and esteemed pleasure of working with Attorney Robyn Miller the past few years on a myriad of issues as we had to navigate the non-profit landscape through the challenges of COVID. As someone who spent the larger part of my working career with major corporations like IBM, and then working with the federal government customers the second part of my career, I found working with Robyn, and her ability to bring in the expertise we required in a timely and efficient manner from the other legal partner firms responsive and a god-send to ensuring, at all times, we, as an organization could function and provide the governance we required as a Board. My sincere best to the professionals of Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, Inc. with kind and thoughtful regards, Earnest Williams

Pro Bono Partnerships has helped ServeHAITI, Inc. navigate several legal issues over the years and their publications/emails are quite useful and very informative. The staff there is also very professional and eager to assist with our issues. We appreciate all they do for ServeHAITI, Inc.

Our organization is blessed to have the Pro Bono team working with us to make the Reginald & Dionne Smith Foundation legally compliant. Knowing that we can rely on the guidance of the very best professionals and most experienced attorneys specializing in every aspect of law is more than comforting. To have that kind of support for free is unheard of. We appreciate Pro Bono more than we can say!

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has been an incredible impact on our organization. Thanks to PBPA, our legal documents are updated and areas of improvement that we didn't even know existed have been carefully attended to. Our staff attorney, Lori, is so responsive, kind, helpful, and professional. Every single attorney we have worked with has been attentive, knowledgeable, and seem eager and happy to be doing Pro Bono work for our organization. We don't feel like a burden, but rather they make us feel appreciated for the work we're doing and happy to help us by working on the matter at hand.

Efficient. Helpful. Friendly. Responsive. Knowledgeable.
I am so grateful that PBPA is a partner of Wellspring Living. Any request, from urgent concerns to advice regarding a process, policy, or approach, is initially responded to within a very short time with an appropriate and timely follow up close after. All of the counsel we have been matched with has been helpful, supportive, knowledgeable, and happy to help, and the resulting documents and advice have always met our needs.

PBPA has been an invaluable help to us a small and growing nonprofit with a limited budget. They have helped us with countless projects over the past few years including reviewing contracts, necessary waivers to avoid liability, and mostly recently guided us through the rezoning process of our property. Everyone at PBPA is always friendly, responsive and so incredibly knowledgeable. We can't say enough good things about our experiences, and would highly recommend their services.

As a small nonprofit Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has been extremely valuable in helping us keep in touch with changes, avoid problems, and get help we need that would otherwise be out of our price range. They are amazing to interact with. They are organized and keep you organized. I am a huge fan of Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta.

Our organization has had an amazing experience with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta. They are efficient, incredibly knowledgeable, resourceful and genuinely care about helping other nonprofit organizations reach success and avoid trouble. It was a true blessing when were were accepted as a client and we are most grateful they exist and provide such impeccable service.

Pro Bono Partnership has been instrumental in ensuring the administration soundness of our organization. They are extremely responsive to our needs and are genuinely concerned for the success of our organization.

Pro Bono Partnerships has provided us with top legal support on a number of issues and saved us thousands while also protecting us from significant risk.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta's services and excellent counsel have made a tremendously positive impact on our nonprofit's operations. It is such a relief and a gift to have a resource like this in our community, especially for nonprofits of our size, budget, and capacity. It is indeed a partnership, and we are better and stronger for it!

The team of staff and volunteers at Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta are AMAZING to work with. I have utilized them many times over the past several years for advisement regarding employment law and have always had my needs met. Both staff and volunteers go above and beyond to provide counsel and resources. I'm grateful for Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta!

Our organization is so grateful for the Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta. As a grass-roots nonprofit it is wonderful to know we have an army of skilled, and knowledgeable legal professionals at our fingertips to provide wisdom and guidance on matters that arise. We have been a long-time partner and are EXTREMELY grateful for the various projects we have been able to work through with the help of Pro Bono.

Can't say enough good things about PBPA! Their professionalism, responsiveness to our needs, and knowledge of legal issues NPOs face is unmatched. Special shout out to our PBPA staff attorney, Lori Shapiro, for providing our tiny but mighty nonprofit an amazing advocate in the legal field!

About a year and a half ago, Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta Inc did a thorough assessment of our organization and identified a number of issues that we needed to address. Various volunteer lawyers have assisted us in addressing these issues. The group helped us determine timing of the organizational needs and have worked at a pace that has been very helpful for us. I came on board as the Executive Director 13 months ago, missing the initial process, but have found the group to be very professional and extremely helpful. We have more work to do and then we will be able to evaluate the organization again, following many changes and improvements, thanks in part to Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta Inc

We have benefitted from Pro Bono Atlanta immensly. They are excellence embodied and if you meet Robyn, she is a firecracker but she gets things done efficiently and effectively. I most like that Pro Bono listens and is receptive (most of them) and the team of attorneys that they work with are stellar. The amount of money that our organization has saved is immeasurable and I look forward to long-term growth. This is a team of professionals. Our organization has benefitted from their Black Led Leadership Cohort and their overall nonprofit development ongoing work.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta is very well-run, and does a lot to strengthen, support, and protect nonprofit organizations in the Atlanta area.

Thank you for your excellent services and advices that benefits Helping Hands for the Deaf (HHD). HHD is much appreciated the protection that PBPA can provide. Please keep up with the great work!

Veterans Helping Veterans was founded on September 7, 2012 as a passion of Lewis Jackson to assist Veterans and their families. With that vision, he recruited the core founders whose mission became “Helping Veterans Receive Benefits and Understand Entitlements”.



Since that inception, membership is now close to 160 members strong. We are a non-profit, volunteer organization whose mission is to promote building better lives for all of our nation’s veterans and their families. We especially pride ourselves on the work we do to assist veterans with receiving their earned VA Disability benefits.



Veterans Helping Veterans also serves the community at large. We assist low-income families with food drives along with financial seminars. We also host annual Veterans Day events where we educate all ages on the rich history of the U. S. Armed Forces. Though not a political organization, we provide community residents information regarding their voting rights.

We have been working with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta for about a year now. I was connected to them through a colleague. Right from the start, this has been an incredible relationship. They have helped us with things we didn't even know we needed. PBPA has connected us with so many amazing attorneys. We have had everything from agreements and documents drafted to assistance with pressing legal matters. We have had numerous opportunities to prioritize matters, and any time I send an email, I get a response back quickly pointing me in the right direction. I really don't think we would be thriving like we are currently without the help of PBPA.

Our organization, Project Community Connections, Inc. (PCCI) has worked with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta for over 12 years. I honestly can say that they have been critical partners with us through the best and the worst of times. PCCI is a nonprofit homeless services agency in Metro Atlanta and we have grown over the years in staffing levels, services offered and even into becoming an affordable housing developer. The Partnership has offered a myriad of legal services that helped us grow responsibly, to mitigate risk and to become a stronger organization. They helped with legal advise on employment law, general policies and procedures, board governance issues, ownership structure and complicated housing tax credit matters - just to name a few. The network of legal experts is amazing and each and every attorney has volunteered countless hours - for free - but still make us feel as important as every other client. I recommend Pro Bono Partnership to all of my peers. I sincerely hope you consider supporting this critical resource in our community. Thanks to all the staff and to all the volunteer attorneys. Margaret Schuelke, Co CEO, PCCI www.pccihome.org

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has been a tremendous God-send to Crosswalk Ministries. Everyone on the team is so kind and professional. From contracts to trademarks, bylaws, and literally everything in between, PBPA has been a beneficial resource. Their work is invaluable. Their processes are well-streamlined, and the volunteer attorneys are the best in their field. They are needed and appreciated. Thank you for everything!

Donise Mathis, Executive Director

Pro Bono is the best thing that has happened to Higher Foundation! They have helped us with our trademark, contractor contracts, and bylaws. I am so thankful for Pro Bono, and I hope they will continue their great work in the community. They are needed and appreciated. Thank you for everything!

- Mallorye Crowell, President of Higher Foundation

Pro Bono Partnership provides essential services to nonprofits doing critical work in the world. Most nonprofit directors didn't start organizations because they had a love of forms, files and bylaws--usually they love serving clients and meeting needs. But for nonprofits to be truly effective they need to be well organized, structured and, above all, legal! Pro Bono Partnership takes so much of the worry out of running a small nonprofit. The peace of mind that comes with knowing that there is a team of experts ready to answer thorny legal questions, or recognize issues before the organization even seems themselves, is invaluable. Pro Bono Partnership makes our work lighter and we're so grateful.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta is a true SAVIOUR for our organization! There's absolutely no way we would be able to afford the legal services offered through this partnership, and definitely not the high-quality veteran attorneys in their network. As a long time for-profit business owner, I had no idea how much I didn't know about nonprofit operations, until we partnered with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta! It's a pleasure to experience mutual respect with the ability to be vulnerable and transparent when working with the volunteer attorneys. Attending one of their workshops at the Junior League of Atlanta several years ago was one of the best decisions of my career! I look forward to continuing to partner! Everyone we encounter on the staff and in their network is pleasant, professional, and clearly believes in The Golden Rule. I am so thankful!

Pro Bono Partnership has been a tremendous help to our small nonprofit. We have benefited from the workshops they've organized as well as their legal guidance during challenging situations. We are truly grateful for their support and admire the important work they do for nonprofits in Atlanta.

Four Winds Ministry Village in Loganville is a Community Service Non-profit offering professional counseling by licensed Counselors covering most issues faced by people and families broken by difficult life circumstances. ProBono Partnership has helped our agency for over ten years to provide the legal expertise to keep us in line with State and Federal regulations and helping us stay focused on our mission to "Rebuild Broken Lives and Restore Broken Families." I have enjoyed developing a strong professional relationship with Attorney Robyn Miller and have been amazed by the willingness and kindness of attorneys from the top law firms in Atlanta to provide vital services to our organization, free of charge. I highly recommend ProBono Partnership of Atlanta to any non-profit in the Metro Atlanta Area.

Pro Bono Partnership completed a comprehensive evaluation of our legal needs and has successfully matched us with expert volunteers to work on each unique matter. We have been working with one legal team in particular on a complex real estate transaction. The firm agreed to provide pro bono support for the entire transaction which involves several transactions, agreements and attorneys. This project would not be possible without that support.

PBPA supported my company through a lengthy list of matters over an 18-month period. We never had a matter go unresolved nor a need unmet. This relationship has proven invaluable in sustaining our organization.

PBPA is amazing! NBAF is so grateful to have been chosen to be a client and this has been a game changer for our organization. Lori and the entire team have been so amazing to work with and we are so grateful for their partnership!

This nonprofit help me recover 4,500.00 I would have never gotten on my own. Thank you so much for being a blessing to me.

Great work I haven't worked with this organization but any company that does pro bono work I take my hat off to you. Sophia. Doing Impeccable Greatness 501c3 Nonprofit.

Pro Bono Partners of Atlanta, is great to work with. The team is awesome to work with and very knowledgeable about non profits.

AboutFace-USA can not say enough about the individuals and professionalism of all those involved with this Foundation. Robyn keep us of track and informed by one-on-one communication, Seminars, and email.
Pro Bono was instrumental in obtain the AboutFace-USA trade mark and providing legal advice whenever necessary.
I highly recommend this Foundation!

The Exceptional Foundation is a young, small nonprofit with legal needs we did not have the budget to address. At our Legal Check-up with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, Inc. we discovered more issues we didn't even realize we needed to navigate. PBPA is addressing every single issue we have. The staff and volunteers communicate so well, have delivered on every item in a timely manner, and have had endless patience with our naivete and questions. As Executive Director, I am so much more confident in the security of our organization. The process has prompted us to make changes in some of our policies and procedures and provided us with documentation that limits our liabiity in various areas. I am grateful for the services provided by Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, Inc. and the time and talents donated by the volunteer attorneys.

We’ve been working with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta for less than a year, and in this short amount of time, they have already proven to be an invaluable partner. We’re a community building organization with a wide range of programs, including a community museum, arts programming, and direct support services, that each present their own unique challenges to address. As a small team, we have relied upon Pro Bono Partners to provide the expertise to navigate each new challenge. They’ve helped us with media release forms; artist agreements; tax questions related to retail products; real estate and lease agreements; and even resolving a dumpster citation! The team is responsive and very supportive. It’s been such a blessing to work with them. Highly suggest connecting with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta and exploring how they can help you!

PBPA's expertise and leadership has resulted in Special Pops Tennis being more sustainable with their engagement in compliance with best practices. While we believed we were compliant in our business practices, with the involvement of PBPA's staff and their project leaders (volunteer attorneys), we now better understand what it takes to be compliant. Without PBPA, our non-profit would have been unable to afford and achieve the fabulous results delivered by through the many projects we completed. Thank you seems to be too simple of an expression. Our sincere appreciation is best expressed by the smiles on the faces of those served by our organization.

We're a non-profit in the RJ space, operating for more than 30 years and Pro Bono is one of our most valued relationships. They've been extremely reliable and they consistently deliver in the most professional and proficient ways. We're very fortunate to have their support.

Probono has been an amazing resource for our nonprofit. The staff and attorneys have prepared so many important documents we need to have in place to include media release, photographer agreement, and background check policy. They also helped us revise our bylaws.

The attorneys are welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. This is such a invaluable resource for us. Thank you to the entire Probono Partnership of Atlanta staff!

Working with Pro Bono Partnerships of Atlanta has been a huge gift for Montessori Partnerships for Georgia. Thanks to their amazing team of experts, we have been able to professionalize our independent contractor agreements, file for a trademark, hire a new staff member, and do myriad other behind-the-scenes tasks that make it possible for us to achieve our mission-- to expand access to quality child-centered education through a network of public and community-based Montessori schools.

As a small non-profit, YELLS (Youth Empowerment through Learning, Leading, and Serving, Inc.) is so fortunate to have Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta as a resource and partner. Over the years, they've helped us with legal check-ups to review our organization's policies, quick answers about legal questions, and connections to volunteer attorneys for more individualized support. It's been such an asset to be able to reach out to the amazing team at PBPA and receive the expert advice we need. They are always willing to help for questions, big or small. Thanks for all you do to help us continue focusing on the work of serving our community!

As a relatively new partner of the Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, we are receiving critical legal support to strengthen our operations and program services. In support of our international work and constituencies, PBPA provides our team with legal consultations that inform our strategies and protect our most vulnerable constituents.

On behalf of Delta Life Development Center, Inc., we would like to extend a humble thank you for your time and effort in assisting us in the creation of the Delta LDC Volunteer Handbook, our policies and procedures, editing our bylaws, etc.

Delta LDC is working hard to present a professional and caring organization to the community. Our plans are to grow our organization and make it a well-known and respected name in the community. We have worked hard over the past twenty years to establish ourselves as a pillar of responsibility. We have worked hard to serve the South Dekalb community through educational forums, fiscal responsibility classes, home ownership workshops, and being a voice for those who feel they have no voice.

Our community will now see that we have grown to be a responsible, caring and organized community minded organization that they will feel proud and safe to be a part of.

Again, thank you, Pro Bono, for your help in this endeavor. If we can be of assistance to you, please give us a call or send an email to Info@ldc.org.

Best Regards,
Shelia G. Garner, President
Delta Life Development Center, Inc.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta provided us with a legal assessment to insure Team Maggie's Dream has all their legal paperwork in order. The knowledge they have shared with Team Maggie's Dream has provided the base we need to take our organization to the next level.

We are so grateful to Pro Bono Partners of Atlanta. One of the Pro Bono attorneys Gregory Scott Edwards has been exceptional coming back when he can to help us with several of our projects.

Pro Bono Partners stays the course and provides educational tools to help everyone which was so helpful this year through PPP loans. Thank you Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta!! We could not do this without you.

ProBono Partnership has been a tremendous resource for my organization, Focused Community Strategies. Their team and volunteer attorneys have taken on numerous projects for us over the past 10 years. From HR issues to contract reviews to property tax issues, they have been able to find a volunteer for all of our needs. We are so grateful for PBPA commitment to the non-profit community of Atlanta and those we serve.

Pro Bono has assisted our organization greatly. Through their services, our bylaws were improved and made more productive. Our board received training on how a non-profit may legally and effective lobby or work with our elected officials. As well, we were able to trademark the logo for our long-term signature educational program for teenage girls. We look forward to a continued relationship with Pro Bono and sincerely appreciate the assistance received.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has provided our Habitat for Humanity nonprofit affiliate with outstanding legal services in support of our mission. We have numerous policies that need legal review before our board of directors can approve them and PBPA has been incredible. We especially appreciated the legal policy review provided by PBPA surrounding our Covid-19 back-to-work policies. Critical support during a stressful time.

Through their expertise, they were able to identify an issue that we had. They anticipated the need in advance and then when the time came, we were covered and protected. I can't thank them enough for their willingness to help their clients navigate all of the complex legal issues that face non-profits on a daily basis.

I have recently joined the Board of PBPA but I have been volunteering with PBPA for years. As a busy in-house transactional attorney, PBPA provides an excellent way for me to give back to my community with pro bono legal services to non-profits, and PBPA does an amazing job managing and supporting the experience. The staff is efficient, professional and hard working. Our work enables non-profits to focus on their missions, and not actual or potential legal issues.

Pro Bono has done so much for our urban garden non-profit that I don't know where to begin. In our first meeting, we met with 3 lawyers who helped us identify what we needed to change, file, or create to comply with regulations that would allow us to seek government-funded grants, and insure that we protect the integrity of the organization . For example, we never knew that we had to meet certain criteria just to qualify as a "public charity". Over the last year, we have received the kind of follow-up help that we never could have done ourselves.
Examples:
- One of the most important issues was helping us review employee contracts and separate them into "contractor" and "staff", with clear role delineations and payment menthods for each.
- Revising our Articles of Incorporation, drafting policies and procedures
- Drafting release forms for our clients and volunteers.
- Provinding information about insurance coverage.
. . . and so much more! ProBono has been a lifesaver for us.

We were recommended to the Pro Bono Partnership by an affiliate organization who raved about their services. We also attended a workshop held by Robyn Miller that was extremely directional and informative. We have completed one project which the assigned attorney resolved for us in one day. We are currently working on three other projects. Pro Bono and its associated attorneys provide a wealth of knowledge, presented in a professional and organized approach to guiding you through legal issues creating direction and supportive solutions.

Pro Bono Partnership has helped us create policies and processes that will allow our organization to grow. Whenever our work takes us into legal matters and we want to make sure we're taking the best approach, PBP is there to answer questions. Working with PBP helps us get ahead of challenges so that we can focus on our mission and our clients.

Helping Mamas, Inc has worked with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta Inc for the last 2 years. They have helped us work on projects from reviewing leases, creating an employee manual, and working on trademarks. Their services have been so valuable. I feel confident that our organization is up to date on current laws and policies. Because of their help, our agency has saved thousands of dollars in legal fees and been able to put that money back toward our mission of eliminating diaper need in Atlanta. I truly feel our growth and success wouldn't have been possible without the legal services we receive from Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta.

I have worked directly with the staff and volunteer attorneys of the Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta while at two different nonprofits. Small nonprofit teams rarely have the resources to hire legal counsel full-time, so having Pro Bono Partnership on your side provides peace of mind as you know you always have access to expert legal advice and best practices. We couldn't deliver on our mission as effectively without them!

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta is integral to providing legal services to the charitable community in Georgia. I began volunteering 10 years ago. Professional while humble, this organization has been leading the Atlanta Bar's efforts to transform the delivery of services to those organizations trying to change the world for the better.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has walked our organization around so many potential pitfalls over the years. We feel like Lori, Robin and Lola have become part of our team. PBPA's expert advice enables us to focus on our work without constantly worrying about noncompliance issues or unnecessary liability. We can't thank them enough!

Empowerment Resource Center (ERC) was introduced to PBPA out of a need for legal assistance with a breached contract. As a nonprofit organization, ERC never fathomed having a budget line items for legal assistance. Within a matter of months, our board realized that our relationship with PBPA is an integral part of our infrastructure and sustainability efforts. There is no way that we could have afforded the types and level of legal expertise to which we have had access. Now, we are beginning to wonder just how we've gotten this far without them.

Our organization (dreamwarriorsfoundation.org) has been working with ProBono since the start of 2019. We have been wildly impressed with the level of attention and care extended to us in our inaugural year of operation. They have helped us with everything from start-up type legal advice to coaching us through our board selections and bi-law writing process. We are so relieved that the professionals who volunteer at ProBono are always courteous, qualified and true leaders in their fields of law, not to mention they are humble and down to earth. We would highly recommend their partnership to all Atlanta non-profits.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has been extremely helpful in assisting my nonprofit become legally sound and stable. They've been knowledgeable on all subjects we've needed assistance with and extremely friendly in the process. We've enjoyed working with all partnering attorneys and firms.

As chair person of a very small nonprofit in Atlanta, GA, we have already benefited immensely from the services of PBPATL. They have assisted us in tightening up our waiver agreements and employee handbook. The attorneys we meet with are efficient, friendly, and spot-on. The website and newsletter are also very helpful - especially the webcasts. PBPATL is becoming my "go to" resource for the business of a non-profit.

ProBono Partnership of Atlanta has helped our organization get answers to countless questions over the years. We don't know what we would do without them!

I’ve volunteered as a lawyer with PBPA for over 10 years and now also serve on the Advisory Committee. I love that PBPA makes it so easy for transactional attorneys to find meaningful pro bono work by finding and screening worthwhile nonprofit organizations with clearly identified needs. Every PBPA client I’ve worked with has been incredibly grateful, cooperative, and invested in our projects. As a bonus, I have learned a lot about the amazing work being done in our community by organizations I never otherwise would have come across. As a member of the Advisory Committee I appreciate that PBPA is extremely well run with an exceptional staff of talented and committed people.

As the Chairman of the Board of St, Jude's Recovery Center, I cannot thank you enough for the outstanding assistance that your organization has provided to our team. We operate on a very tight budget and having your volunteers handle matters that we have been unable to address has lifted loads off of our shoulders. We are so appreciative of the willingness and expertise that has been available to us. Atlanta is so fortunate to have the Pro Bono Partnership. Thank you so very much. John Dryman

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta is loaded with extremely knowledgeable and experienced talent, and I have received their wise council on multiple occasions. Our non-profit has received the highest level of advice in multiple areas of law and even in multiple states. We had tax issues with having 2 books published, and Robyn Miller was brilliant in directing us around the tax laws which came into play to assure us that the proceeds from the book sales would go directly to the non-profit for whom the books were written. Also, there was a non-performance issue with a contract for marketing the books, and the other party was in Boston. Robyn use her network and acquired the services of a local attorney in Boston to help move our issue forward.

When hiring a new employee, our non-profit wanted to have certainty that our job description would meet the FLSA requirements, so I reached out to Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta again. I am very thankful that Robyn Miller assisted us again and gave us invaluable advise on the working of the document. Also, she reached out to another local attorney that deals with FLSA more often than Robyn does, and we received additional direction from Robyn's contact. This document was far better written thanks to their help, and I have confidence that it will accomplish our goal for having the person in the role outlined with the job description as a salaried employee, not an hourly employee.

It would be impossible for our tiny non-profit to have afforded the amazing services provided to us by Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta. The team there has invited us to fantastic classes, provided great follow up and support, and continue to offer advice and information for the challenges we face as a non-profit. Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has consistently exceeded my expectations and it has always been a pleasure in working with them! Thanks Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta!

Free legal advice!!!! Something all non-profits can benefit from!

Great resource for our nonprofit- thank you so much!

We love Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta. No matter is too large or too small. Believe me, we've thrown some unique legal issues their way and they've really stepped up and rose to the challenge. The most notable case was an immigration issue with one of our staff members that took an entire EIGHT YEARS to resolve. No one would expect an organization, much less, a volunteer attorney and her staff, to stick with a case that extensive. But they did! And did it gladly and we felt like we were treated like a regular paying client (I can't even imagine what the legal costs would have been - certainly not something that a small nonprofit or its employee could afford.) We cannot say enough about the work they do. It's a vital resource for the nonprofit community in Atlanta.

Loving Arms Cancer Outreach became a client for the first time this year. What an AMAZING organization. They actually LOVE on you. Rachel and her Staff.... WOW!!! They have a heart for all our projects and it is unbelievable that all they want to do is KEEP US LEGAL and keep us doing the call on our lives in helping others. The Legal Checkup-THAT WAS FUN!!!! Sure we were scared not knowing what to expect, but from Lola (So efficient and wonderful) to every volunteer they were so warm and loving & ORGANIZED. Breakfast, Meeting with Lawyers and now they are a part of our family-calling us, follow up, List of homework-THEY GET THINGS DONE!!!! GOD sends us ANGELS and we consider Rachel & Her Staff-OUR ANGELS!!! Thank You Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta!!!!! Blessings, Diana & Shay

Fulton County Court Appointed Special Advocates, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that trains volunteers to advocate for foster children. At our initial legal checkup meeting, I was surprised, impressed and honored to sit down with an assigned legal team headed by a project manager to talk through our needs and develop a schedule for delivery of legal services. During this past year we have even had a few unplanned emergencies that we received assistance with. Our Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta Legal Team is comprised of Atlanta's Top Attorneys. There is no way our organization could afford the caliber of legal counsel provided through Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta. On behalf of the foster children of Fulton County, many thanks to the Attorneys and Staff that unselfishly dedicates their time and expertise to serve PBPATL.

Robbyn Ingram, Executive Director, Fulton County Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), Inc.

What an amazing blessing the PBPA has been to our work at the Alliance for Freedom, Restoration, and Justice, Inc. From our first interview through many projects since, PBPA and its excellent legal volunteers have been our heroes, tackling a wide variety of issues for us, and always with the very best standards of care, timeliness, professionalism, encouragement, and excellence. We sing your praises everywhere we go!

I Will Survive, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3), breast cancer educational awareness and funding in lower income communities in Atlanta who has been blessed to receive services on several occasions from Pro Bono Partnerships of Atlanta, Inc. This is an amazing organization serving those in need. Thank you for all that you do!

Aniz, Inc is a 501(c)(3), human services nonprofit organization. We have worked with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta many times. The level of excellent legal assistance they have provided us over the years has been instrumental to the functioning and growth of this agency. From reviewing our agency infrastructural documents to interceding on our behalf with the IRS to representing our interests by providing us quality legal counsel during difficult legal situations, Aniz would not be the thriving organization we now are without Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta. Thank you for all that you do!

We are Exodus 321 Inc. a 501 c3 non profit organization. We serve the mentally challenged, the disabled and homeless community in the Atlanta Metropolitan area. We have transitioned over 250 persons from living in the street or in harms way, to living in safe clean long term housing. We have also assisted with the opening of over 33 homes to accommodate our at risk community. Our organization is now 11 years old and in good standing.

We were introduced to Pro Bono Partnership Lawyers of Atlanta about 6 years ago. Since then they have helped us to resolve all sorts of challenges that we have encountered. We appreciate and are more than grateful to the volunteer Lawyers of Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta., for their extraordinary patience and untiring support We know without their guidance, legal help, and many seminars and webinars, we would not be in existence to day.

I would like to share one of our many success stories with you. One of our residents was teaching school at the age of 27. He was from a very good family but when his father died he became severely challenged. At the time we met him he could hardly walk or talk, and seemed hopeless. However, after three years of good nourishment, love and understanding at our facility, in addition to the help of his family and two George State university volunteer students, this young man regained his confidence and his ability to cope. He then became a volunteer worker at a mission and was subsequently hired as a staff. Also, he worked as a math tutor with an agency. Eventually, he came to us and said "I believe I'm ready to live on my own ". He got an apartment. Went back to the university for graduate school and graduated at the top of his class. This is just one of the many lives that were changed because we had the staying power afforded to us by the Volunteer Lawyers of Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta.

Loretta Benbow, Executive Director Exodus 321 Inc.

"As a small organization, DeKalb CASA has embarked on a journey to place all legacy issues in a box and bury them forever. One of the last issues was a project Pro Bono took on for us like a tiger via the tireless efforts of Attorney Nedom Haley. Attorney Haley worked with us as a partner in face to face meetings, drafting critical communications and conducting tenacious litigation to ensure our project had a satisfactory resolution. The Pro Bono Project has additionally been instrumental in assisting DeKalb CASA with updates of our corporate papers. Their efforts have assisted us to ensure that our policies are current, updated and compliant with current state and federal laws."

Ron Mangum, DeKalb County CASA's, Board Chair and Board Member of National CASA

We have worked with Pro Bono Partnership many times and they were particularly instrumental in helping my agency walk through a very difficult legal issue. Thanks to them, we were able to resolve the matter to our benefit satisfactorily. I am so grateful to the support they provide.

Having Pro Bono Partnership as a nonprofit partner has been very helpful to our organization. As a small group, we could not have afforded all the help we've received from volunteer lawyers through Pro Bono. We are happy you exist and have made a big difference for us Thank you!
Jean Hilyard
Executive Director
HomeAid Atlanta

kidz2leaders has benefited from the quality and availability of legal services through the Pro Bono Partnership. We could not afford to pay ourselves the depth of legal services we receive from them. They have provided attorneys to assist in trademark matters, camp applications and other documentation, and human resources issues. We feel we are getting excellent advice to help keep our business safe and sound.

Our organization, Jeryme Brown and Mitchell Smalls Foundation (JBMS) would not still be operating seven years later had it not been for ProBono Partnerships. They have helped us to align our progam goals, procedures, and policies with state and national legal requirements. In addition they have aligned us with attorneys who truly have a heart for service. Many of those attorneys continue to volunteer as speakers and mentors for our youth well after their project has ended. ProBono Partnerships of Atlanta is a permanent part of the JBMS family!

PBPATL is probably one of the most valuable resources in Atlanta for a non-profit like Friends of Refugees. Complex legal questions are du jour in the nonprofit world, often without significant legal precedents available and ALWAYS with a dearth of funding to get the help necessary to serve families and communities with excellence. PBPATL has helped FOR find the answers to our questions, the legal volunteers to do what we do right, and to see far down the road of our organization's future by sitting on the shoulders of their top-notch legal partners. Our future is brighter because of PBPATL!

REDEEM COMMUNITY OUTREACH HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 20 YEARS

Many thanks , Love, peace, blessings and power be with you always Pro-Bono
one love!

I Griffin Lotson of Sams Memorial CED Inc. nonprofit personally wanted to thank you Pro Bono for believing in us, when it appeared that we were not going to find a specialize attorney with our limited resources, Pro Bono were there with us, now we have achieve one of our greatest accomplishment by receiving 100% ownership of a multimillion dollar apartment complex, The journey was hard and very few believe it could be accomplished by a Rural small nonprofit, but with the right partnership with you (Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta) we were able to accomplish what some say it was impossible. Thanks!!!!

The Kindezi School would likely not exist if it were not for PBP of Atlanta. Now we are a multi-million dollar nonprofit and a high-achieving charter school but they helped us when we were a struggling grassroots organization. We have been connected with nothing but extremely professional and skilled lawyers and PBP staff have made sure we were always taken care of until the project was complete. We've been aided more times than I can count and it's been an amazing resource. This is an example of a nonprofit that is really making a difference in Atlanta. It's a great nonprofit.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has provided A Friend's House with legal assistance that we would not have been able to afford on our own. All projects large or small were treated with interest and concern by the attorneys that helped us. Pro Bono's follow up and involvement made everything smooth and easy to understand. The Non-Profit Summits that they have held always bring new insight into areas that we can make improvements. Thank you Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta for helping us to serve children in crisis.

Pro Bono Partnership Of Atlanta assisted Sober Living America in various projects throughout my time as a resident in Sober Living America. They understood that we all need a voice and they were our voice. They have the heart and soul for what every non profit stands for and help those who truly needs their influence or time in a positive manner. Thank you Pro Bono for giving us your best and truly caring about those you serve!!!

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, Rachel, and her team are the BEST!!! They have completed many projects for Sober Living America in a professional and timely manner. The service they provide to our community is invaluable. Thank You Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta.

PBPA has helped Urban Perform create leases, waivers, contracts and permits. We are extremely grateful for all their help with connecting us to quality attorneys!

Pro Bono Partnership was instrumental in lining Georgia Organics up with a law firm who helped us rewrite our personnel policies. PBP was professional, timely and supportive, and Seyfarth Shaw, the law firm that supported this project, crafted policies that fit our culture, protected our organization and brought our policy in line with current standard practices. Without PBP, this would have been a time consuming and costly process and the end product would likely not have been as solid.

PBP-Atlanta has been of great assistance to Global Health Action in a number of areas ranging from commercial real estate to employee issues. PBP-Atlanta essentially acts as our corporate counsel, and we get expert pro bono legal advice and representation whenever we need it. The legal review by PBP's legal team allowed us to identify issues of which we were unaware. Prior to becoming a client of PBP-Atlanta, it was very time consuming to find pro bono legal representation whenever a legal issue surfaced. Now we can focus on fulfilling our mission and know that we have expert legal assistance on our team.

Pro Bono Partnership has provided us with a legal check-up, policy updates and many other critical services so that our staff can focus on carrying out the mission of the organization.

Pro Bono Partnership provides a great resource to the non profits of Atlanta. Their ability to find lawyers who successfully resolve issues is greatly appreciated. The LEAD Institute has used their legal check up, and benefited from the solutions their volunteers provide.

They have also provided valuable assistance on a broad array of issues from leases to teaming when I have referred other organizations to them.

The Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has provided us with smart, experienced lawyers in the areas where we need legal support. They help keep nonprofits legal, so we can focus on our mission and not be overwhelmed with legal issues. We are indebted to Pro Bono Partnership for all they do!

Pro Bono Partnership's counsel to our organization is of immeasurable value. In a difficult climate for education, Pro Bono Partnership has championed the International Community School and steered us to wiser decisions based on their high-level legal expertise in specific areas of relevance. With their excellent guidance, our organization has positioned itself for the best possible future outcomes. Those at PBP and the attorneys they have obtained to support us have been clear, versatile, and wonderful to work with. I cannot rate them highly enough!

Pro Bono was there for us at STING, Inc. when we absolutely needed assistance with a legal issue that we could not handle. The Attorney was prompt and handled our case with extreme care. I shudder when I think of what would have happened to us without their expertise.

We have been using Pro Bono Atlanta's services for ten months. I am amazed at the caliber of attorneys that have helped our organization with matters such as developing retention documents to creating comprehensive program policies. We have many projects this year that we wanted to complete. Many of them we've been simultaneously working on while still running a non-profit. The Pro Bono schedulers and project leaders keep me on track with all of these and are excellent with follow-up. I highly recommend them.

Pro Bono Partnership has provided Voices for Georgia's Children with services and consultation on a range of issues including employment contracts; intellectual property, by-laws, and personnel policies. As a small nonprofit we save money and reduce risks that result from poor wording in these kinds of documents. I find that I can be pretty candid about our weaknesses and constraints and not feel that I am being judged

ProBono is serving Wilderness Works, an Atlanta charity serving homeless and disadvantaged children, now for 7 years. ProBono is like a watch dog that protects and keeps on protecting!
ProBono updated all of our documentation and helped us iron out a variety of matters. ProBono has a flair for finding competent, diligent and caring attorneys! The ProBono staff is serious and professional. What a relief to have their help!

We began working with ProBono Partnership of Atlanta earlier this year. We went through their Legal Check-in and it has been an invaluable experience. As a small nonprofit, it was such a blessing to be connected to such a variety of legal experts who were truly looking out for our best interests.
Robyn, Rachael and all of the professionals and attorneys connected to ProBono have truly been amazing to work with. They enabled us to stop worrying about legal "landmines" and let us focus on our mission - providing CASA volunteers to foster children in our community. Thank you, ProBono!

The Pro Bono Partnership is a wonderful resource for professional legal advice for non-profits. The staff is extremely well organized and the volunteer attorneys are dedicated and responsive. I recommend PBP without reservation.

The professional staff and volunteer attorneys of Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, Inc. have provided Global Health Action with excellent, up-to-date legal advice on several matters ranging from international partnership grants to real estate transactions. It is a pleasure to work with such a dedicated group of professionals who are eager to be of service and are so competent!

Robin C. Davis, President & CEO, Global Health Action

We have been a client of ProBono Partnership for almost a decade. With each project we have with PBP the volunteer attorneys and PBP staff have been exceptional on every level. We see PBP as a vital resource that keeps us safe, smart, and superior in our service delivery.

Rachel and her staff of legal professionals and volunteers are remarkable! They gave me a since of confidence as a young small nonprofit founder. We were doing a lot of things right; however, they helped me understand certain liabilities that I was not aware of prior to seeking their services. Probono Legal services are so essential for nonprofits, especially grass roots. I am very grateful to this organization and will continue to reach out to Rachel and her team!

Pro Bono Partnership has come to our rescue on a number of occasions, the most recent being help with state and federal trademark searches. They provided just the detailed information we needed to make the best business decision for our organization, Action Ministries, Inc. We recommend them highly.

The saying "You don't know what you don't know" definitely applies to the complicated web of regulations and laws that apply to U.S. non-profits operating in foreign countries. The staff and volunteer attorneys at Pro Bono expertly guided us through the process and provided us with the necessary documents and advice to protect our organization and our board. We could never have afforded the time and expertise that we got from Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta.

PBPA has been an awesome partner to House of Dawn. Over the years they have provided House of Dawn with professional and legal guidance to ensure our organization is run professional and legal at all times. We appreciate the staff at PBPA and all that they do.

So thankful to have PBPA as a valued partner!!

Being accepted as one of their clients was one of the most unbelievable gifts we could have imagined! Being in animal rescue and mostly all volunteer, we have very little time to do anything other than try to save lives. This group at ProBono and the attorneys in their network are amazing! They care about making sure you are taken care of and more than willing to do whatever it takes to help. We came in with a whole bucket of issues, and they had no problem sitting down and sorting it all out. Knowing we have them there to help us if we need it..there are just no words. If we would have had to pay for the services we have been given from them, we would have had to pass on saving at least 2 dozen dogs and cats. These animals are alive and in forever homes because of their generosity and commitment to helping us make a difference. Just wow :) Thank you

The services provided by the Pro Bono Partnership are exemplary. Our agency was assisted in developing the needed contracts for the services my Non-Profit Organization needed to run our organization in a sound fiscally accountable manner. The educational forums are excellent and much needed. I would recommend all who can take advantage of their services to do so. I encourage sponsors to continue to support the Pro Bono Partnership services. They are much need and appreciated by us.

There is no way to fully quantify or express the impact PBPA has had on Development in Gardening. Not only are they professional and efficient they are made-up of deeply caring and motivated individuals who become personally invested in the work their non profits are doing. Working with them has been a dream come true.

Pro Bono has been of tremendous help to CaringWorks, Inc. as we navigated various legal and organizational policy issues. We very much appreciate Robyn Miller and her associates for their wise counsel and willingness to serve.

PBPA is an indispensable partner of our organization. As a small but growing non-profit we are not able to afford legal expertise in area crucial to our development, growth and indeed our very existence. We call on PBPA for all our legal needs and they have been nothing short of great.

Pro Bono of Atlanta is just fabulous. They have helped with legal issues so many times when we didn't even know where to turn and couldn't afford it if we had. As far as I'm concerned, PBPA and its Director, Rachel Spears, should have 10 stars.
Chad Hale, Exec. Director, Urban Recipe, f/k/a Georgia Avenue Community Ministry

Pro Bono provided access to legal resources and knowledge that my organization would not have been able to obtain otherwise. The staff has always been so helpful and quick to respond and fill such a need in the community. I have and will continue to refer Pro Bono to any non profit that is in need of their services!

Over the last couple of years the PBPA consistently has provided top-level legal expertise to help the nonprofit organization I serve address issues of great importance. A fellow attorney recommended PBPA to my organization, and I have recommended it to other nonprofits. What a valuable resource!

THANK YOU PBPA, Yes I am screaming. I am just so happy to have found you because our non-profits (29) needed some very quick professional help and you were there without delay. Thank You. I am working with a group of community agencies and churches that are working together to improve the lives of all in our community this collaboration has identified legal areas of concern that we were not aware of but now we have PBPA and are now excited about the collaborative work. Thanks Again and Again.

Pro Bono has show More Than Conquerors, Inc. nothing but excellent service! The email newsletters with great resources and webinars, the FREE classes conducted at the Foundation Center, the quick responses to the projects submitted for a Pro Bono Lawyer to select on work on the project... all of this have proven to have excellent people that delivered on the services. The presenters have used "user friendly" language that was well appreciated by the attendees.

Rachel Spears has followed up on every project to ensure the quality of service. Her attention to detail and customer service compels me to always tell other nonprofits about their services. They "Rock" customer service.

I volunteer with a non-profit that has turned to PBP again and again for legal assistance. They are extremely res



I volunteer with a non-profit that has turned to PBP many times for legal assistance. Each time they have been very responsive. They have found lawyers with the appropriate expertise to address our questions. Having previously practiced law, I can attest that the quality of legal work done by their volunteers is very high. They have also been great about following up to confirm our issues were addressed to our satisfaction. I have recommended PBP to other non-profits and will continue to do so. We would be lost without them!

I have had the pleasure of working with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta and their impressive staff for a little over a year now. PBPA has been integral in ensuring the health and stability of our organization. As a nonprofit leader I am often expected to wear many hats. I am grateful that the work of PBPA not only assists me in identifying and resolving legal issues, but also frees up some of my time so that I can focus on the growth and sustainability of our organization.

I practice corporate law, and I think it is important to take on a couple of pro bono projects each year. I love the Pro Bono Project, because they make volunteering easy for the transactional lawyer. They screen clients to ascertain their exact legal needs, they break those needs down into several discreet projects if necessary, and they send out lists to potential volunteers describing both the client's mission as well as the exact parameters of the pro bono services needed. As a result, when working with the Pro Bono Project, I have never had a pro bono assignment "spiral out of control" or felt like I had gotten in over my head. The project management and support is unlike anything I have experienced and I can always find opportunities to put my skills to use while supporting a cause that is important to me on a personal level. That is why I keep coming back to the Pro Bono Project for more pro bono opportunities.

I am a retired lawyer launching a small nonprofit, and I was looking for some pro bono help to look over my shoulder and confirm I wasn't making too big a mess of things. Pro Bono Partnership/Atlanta recognized that I needed far more legal help than I was comfortable asking for, and their volunteers helped me with several matters on an expedited basis that enabled our organization to launch our planned activities on schedule and form a community partnership with a large civic organization that will give our venture a much greater chance of reaching our ambitious goals. PBP/A stepped in and acted like a true general counsel, offering invaluable guidance and support, and a few of their webinars addressed issues that saved me hours of research. This is a highly skilled, caring and professional organization that fills a vital need in our community.

I am the Controller for a small nonprofit. Due to our size I handle not only the finances but also all operational and HR functions. Through ProBono partners we have had access to attorneys to assist us with writing policies, creating handbooks for staff and our board, ensuring that we adhere to all local, state and federal laws. Their guidance has been immeasurable! ProBono partners matched us with the perfect attorney for each specific need and stayed in constant contact with us to ensure we received the exact help we needed. We could have never been able to afford these services on our own. ProBono Partners contribution to nonprofits is greatly needed and appreciated!

I run a non-profit organization that relies on the Pro-Bono Partnership for legal advice and support. The information, training and guidance provided is critical to helping us operate and meet our mission!

I have been in nonprofit management for more than four decades and I STILL remember the day I met Rachel Spears and first learned about the outstanding services of Pro Bono Partnership. I was thrilled to learn that an organization was educating nonprofits about their legal responsibilities and providing direct professional assistance to nonprofits to address those needs.

Over the past five years, Rachel, her staff and her cadre of volunteer lawyers have provided highly valuable legal services to the Child Development Association on matters including FMLA, leasing, joint enterprise with other nonprofits, bylaws, conflict of interest, employee handbooks, among others. Pro Bono Partnership has materially assisted our organization and given me confidence regarding our legal foundation.

I cannot say enough about Rachel's leadership and about the incredible quality of legal service that they bring to the nonprofit arena.

Donna Smythe
Executive Director, Child Development Association

I am the leader of a non-profit that serves internationally, and our organization has been helped by Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta multiple times! Not only have we received assistance with the publication of a book in which the intellectual property rights were given to the non-profit, but we have also received assistance as a company received payment from us, but didn't perform the services for which they had been paid. As Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta's attorney learned more about the ways our non-profit performs our work, we were also given additional guidance concerning laws pertaining to international travel and laws within the areas where we serve. We are a tiny non-profit, so the wisdom and assistance we received from Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta has been invaluable for us! Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta is truly a five star organization!

I am the director of a state-wide nonprofit organization that operates a character education program for high school students. Earlier this year, when we needed assistance interpreting a new state education regulation, we turned to the ProBono Partnership of Atlanta. PBPA did a fabulous job of helping us to quickly assess how the regulation did -- or did not -- apply to us. As a small nonprofit with a small budget, this pro bono legal work was invaluable.Thanks to PBPA's assistance, our organization was able to focus on its mission of promoting positive character values such as honesty, integrity, compassion, generosity and perseverance among the younger generation, and to be compliant with all legal issues.

The Attorneys and staff at Pro Bono partnership helped us out immensely by just having an Intern review our documents and explain what needed to be rectified before we could go to market to solicit donations in Georgia. Within an hour we knew exactly what had to be done to bring Fountain of Hope into compliance. Many thanks to Robyn, Rachael and their staff.

Our agency had the pleasure of working with Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta on issues ranging from personnel policies to confidentiality and client intake procedures. The amazing attorneys that so graciously give of their time were a joy to work with and made the process relatively painless! Sometimes this work can be intimidating and I appreciate the expertise and thoroughness that everyone through Pro Bono---staff and volunteer attorneys---brought to the table.
In Peace,
Amy N. Weaver

I have spent the last 20+ years of my career in the non-profit sector. As such, I have had the opportunity to have several of those non-profits be accepted as clients of Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta (PBPA). It has been a wonderful experience! All of the attorneys and especially the staff of PBPA have been incredible. I do not feel that any of the nonprofit clients that I have referred could have gotten any better legal or moral support--even if the organizations had to pay. As clients, PBPA has saved these organizations thousands of dollars in legal fees, whereby adding monies to the organization's bottom line and allowing these organizations to offer greater services to the communities they serve.

I am on the board of a charity in Atlanta that serves children with incarcerated parents - kidz2leaders.org. Last year we were consdiering opening in NJ by partnering with some people from our organization who had moved from Atlanta to NJ. There were many complex licensing and IP issues to wrangle with. The Pro Bono Partnership handled them all for us expertly. We were able to put together an agreement that protected us but was not off-putting to our new sister organization. Top notch legal representation.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta is one of my top resources as a charity executive director. They've provided expert legal assistance through their amazing volunteers. Help on projects has ranged from creating updated bylaws that comply with our state laws, review of a contract and license agreement, and assistance with a d.b.a. In addition to one-on-one help with attorneys, PBP Atlanta offers excellent webinars and workshops on issues common to non-profit management. At our organization, we work hard to fulfill our mission, and we strive to operate a lean organization. Thanks to the good work from staff and volunteers at Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, issues that could become problems are prevented and more of our resources can be directed to our program.

Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta makes it easy for transactional attorneys to give back to the community. Prior to volunteering with PBPA, I found it difficult to find pro bono matters that fit within my skill set. The once-a-month emails detailing available projects allows you to not only choose the level of time commitment you desire, but also choose an organization with a mission statement that speaks to you. The Executive Director, Rachel Spears, and the rest of the PBPA team are extremely nice and always willing to answer questions. I would recommend this organization to everyone!

Pro Bono Partnership makes it easy for in-house lawyers in particular to find projects that fit within their practice area and schedule. They do an amazing job of vetting clients to ensure projects are well-defined and meaningful, so both the clients and volunteer lawyer are well-prepared for the task at hand. There are always a wide variety of matters to choose from, allowing you to give as much time as you want or as little time as you have. Their lawyers and staff support you along the way with their own time and resources to ensure the project is a success. Through volunteering with PBPA over the years, I have also increased my awareness about many local non-profits with inspirational missions making big differences in our community.

Pro Bono Partnership allows attorneys to select volunteer projects of vary complexity and time commitment based on their availability. PBP's team makes the volunteer process seamless, and allows attorneys to learn about and assist deserving non-profits across Atlanta.
