Are there any EA infrastructure (individual consultants / consultancies) that can help individuals with legal support on starting a nonprofit/charity (e.g. helping file the right paperworks, checking the legality of the plans, etc)?
Background: I am a non-US citizen trying to start a US-based nonprofit/charity (since I am planning to move soon), and I had trouble finding any such infrastructure available (besides incubation programs such as CE, but they seem to cover the entire charity-founding process; I am looking for more specific infrastructures for legal support).
I understand there are some people in the early stages of exploring this, though I’m sorry for the life of me I can’t remember who. The Law and Longtermism slack channel which is run by the Legal Priorities Project and may be a good starting point, as I understand some people have found people for this there before.
Thank you for the pointer, I reference this post in the slack channel.
Hi—I am one of the lawyers looking into establishing an EA legal services org (and am the recipient of the FTX regrant noted in another comment). I won’t be the right person to help you with your substantive question, but it could be useful to have a quick chat to identify the legal issues you need help with—and potentially connect you with one of the US lawyers also looking at this. If you could DM me a calendar link—or otherwise the time zone you’re in and some times you’ll be free in the next week.
I’m not sure how you’d reach the entity in question, but I noticed an FTX Future Fund regrant addressing this listed on the Fund’s website.
Thank you! I will try to contact FTX if possible.
