About the NPLRC:

The Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association’s Non-Profit Legal Resource Center (NPLRC) is here to help nonprofit organizations stay legally strong and ready to serve. Our mission is simple: to help you focus on your mission by giving your organization the legal knowledge and support it needs to thrive.

Funded by the Greater Cleveland Funders Collaborative, the NPLRC is a regional hub connecting nonprofits with trusted legal education, guidance, and resources.

What We Offer

Advice

Need quick guidance? We offer brief consultations and answers to common legal questions facing nonprofits – from formation and bylaws to employment and fundraising compliance.

Connections

For more complex needs, we connect nonprofits to a curated network of attorneys and organizations committed to non-profit representation – including law firms, law school clinics, and the Legal Aid Society of Cleveland.
