Technical Assistance Services
When you’re doing effective, life-changing work in your community, it can be easy to forget to work on your non-profit while you work in your non-profit. Staying on top of legal filings and operating procedures is critical, though, to your organization’s ability to get funded and continue to have a long-term impact in your community.
We can help and offer services to local non-profit organizations in Southern California to support the long-term health and effectiveness of the organization. Services we offer include:
Non-profit initial formation filings and operating agreements
Annual filings with US IRS, CA Secretary of State, and CA Attorney General
Annual report creation and filings
Board of Directors operating policies, processes, and trainings
