Ongoing Governance & Compliance Support
Ongoing Governance & Compliance Support
Forming your nonprofit was the first step. Keeping it legally protected is the ongoing work. Missed filings, outdated governance documents, and unaddressed compliance gaps don’t just create legal risk — they jeopardize grant eligibility, erode board accountability, and expose leadership to personal liability. The firm’s monthly governance programs exist so your organization never has to react to a problem that proactive counsel could have prevented.
Tier 1 - Governance Essentials (Monthly)
Your organization is newly formed and you need consistent legal support to stay compliant — without paying for services you don’t yet need. This program keeps your governance on track from the start, with a steady touchpoint and clear compliance guidance as you build.
Starting at $1,100/month | 6-month minimum commitment
Note: Government filing fees (Secretary of State, IRS, CA AG)
are billed separately and are the client's responsibility.
Includes:
Monthly governance support via advisory communication
Quarterly governance review meeting
Annual governance summary
Annual compliance checklist
Annual meeting preparation template
Designed for nonprofits requiring foundational oversight without strategic restructuring.
Tier 2 - Advanced Governance & Compliance
Your organization is active, growing, and operating in multiple programs areas. Compliance is no longer simple and your governance documents need regular attention. This program provides structured monthly oversight and document review your organization needs to stay ahead of its obligations.
Starting at $2,500/month | 6-month minimum commitment
Note: Government filing fees (Secretary of State, IRS, CA AG)
are billed separately and are the client's responsibility.
Includes:
Monthly governance meeting
Monthly compliance reminders
Governance document review (limited scope)
Quarterly governance roadmap
Annual governance audit report
Annual filing governance review (990, RRF-1, CT-1 governance review only)
Designed for nonprofits requiring deeper oversight and structured governance planning.
Tier 3 - Premier Governance Concierge
Your foundation is publicly visible, your leadership carries personal brand exposure, and governance failures carry reputational consequences beyond the organization itself. This program is designed for foundations where the founder’s public profile creates ongoing governance risk. Attorney engagement includes proactive monitoring, board-level advisory support, and counsel available as reputational and operational situations arise — not just at scheduled meetings.
Starting at $5,000/month | 12-month minimum commitment
Note: Government filing fees (Secretary of State, IRS, CA AG)
are billed separately and are the client's responsibility.
Includes:
Monthly governance session
Quarterly governance briefing
Annual governance oversight report
Annual board meeting packet
Limited board meeting attendance
Governance-level review of IRS Form 990 (as prepared by tax professional)
This service provides structured governance guidance and does not include crisis management, litigation, or transactional work.
Organizations that complete formation through the firm are encouraged to transition directly into a governance program. The strongest nonprofit legal foundations are those that treat compliance as an ongoing relationship — not a one-time filing.
