Nonprofit Board Member
Nonprofit board members provide oversight, governance, and strategic direction to ensure accountability, compliance, and mission success.
Board members are the stewards of a nonprofit’s purpose and resources, and their decisions directly impact the organization’s ability to thrive. While board service is not for faint-of-heart, it can be one of best ways possible to contribute to the causes you care the most about. From the beginning of your term of office, through the end of your tenure, FPLG can provide critical governance guidance to you and the organization you serve, ensuring you provide the best possible governance.
Governance & Board Advisory
FPLG provides tailored legal guidance on governance issues that matter most to nonprofit boards. From reviewing and updating bylaws to developing clear policies on conflicts of interest, fiduciary oversight, and board procedures, our attorneys help directors meet their responsibilities with clarity and confidence. We partner with boards to strengthen governance structures and ensure alignment with both mission and compliance standards.
Training & Education
Board members are most effective when they understand the legal framework guiding nonprofit organizations. FPLG offers customized training and education sessions for boards of all sizes, covering topics such as fiduciary duties, compliance obligations, and risk management. These sessions not only inform but also empower directors to ask better questions, make informed decisions, and engage more fully in their leadership roles.
Risk Management & Crisis Counsel
Boards often face high-stakes situations—ranging from employment disputes and regulatory inquiries to donor restrictions and governance challenges. FPLG equips boards with proactive strategies to minimize risk before issues arise and provides experienced legal counsel when crises occur. Our goal is to help directors navigate sensitive matters swiftly and responsibly, while safeguarding both the organization’s mission and its reputation.
Strategic Transactions & Growth
Nonprofit boards play a central role in guiding organizational growth and transformation. FPLG advises directors through major transactions such as mergers, partnerships, restructurings, and wind-downs. By ensuring that each step is handled with legal precision and mission alignment, we enable boards to pursue opportunities for impact while honoring their duty to protect and sustain the organization.
