Colorado Nonprofit Pro Bono Legal Group
Access to the legal assistance your nonprofit needs!
The Colorado Nonprofit Pro Bono Legal Group (PBLG) is an initiative of the Colorado Nonprofit Association, Colorado Lawyers Committee, and ProBonoUSA to effectively match nonprofit organizations in need of legal assistance with volunteer lawyers who can help.
Organizations must attain 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status prior to requesting pro bono legal services. For resources regarding starting a nonprofit, please contact our Help Desk.
Nonprofit Members of the Colorado Nonprofit Association may access this program whenever a legal need arises. Nonmember 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations operating in Colorado are welcome to access this program once annually. To learn more about the many benefits of membership, visit our Resources page!
Although PBLG will make every effort to do so, we cannot guarantee legal counsel for your organization. We encourage you to maintain your own efforts to secure needed assistance. Acceptance of a request is dependent upon the professional and personal criteria of the individual attorneys who volunteer their time and expertise. Click here to submit a request!
