Nonprofit Navigator
True North Legal Group’s subscription-based “Nonprofit Navigator” program delivers affordable, ongoing legal counsel helping nonprofits in Northern Michigan stay compliant, confident, and mission-focused.
True North Legal Group is deeply invested in the success of Northern Michigan, and we recognize the tremendously important work that nonprofit organizations do in the region. For new and growing nonprofits, we offer a "Nonprofit Navigator" program aimed at promoting your success and safeguarding your mission.
Our unique “Nonprofit Navigator” program is subscription-based, providing nonprofit leaders with certainty as to their legal fees and giving the team at True North Legal Group a true feeling that we are your “general counsel.” This model allows us to offer legal services to growing nonprofits at a fraction of the cost of other lawyers who charge by the hour.
Our nonprofit clients rave about this model. It allows True North Legal Group to be your "fractional general counsel," providing custom-sized legal services at an affordable price. With a set monthly fee, your nonprofit can accurately budget for professional services while also relying on our ongoing legal advice to ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local laws. We truly see this as an opportunity for your organization to add our law firm as a part of your senior management team, freeing you up to focus on mission and operations instead of worrying about compliance and legal matters.
