Non-Profit Organizations
Community service is a cornerstone of Parmenter Law. Members of our Non-Profit Team have served on many non-profit boards in Muskegon. Our individual involvement with community organizations and events provides a natural — and substantial — basis for our Non-Profit Team.
Community service organizations have many of the same concerns and issues as for-profit businesses. We understand they face unique challenges and legal requirements. Our attention to detail and dedication to finding practical solutions to problems that characterizes our practice in every arena is especially crucial in our work with non-profit clients.
Our Clients and Services
The community service goals and events of our non-profit clients cover a wide array of missions. Understanding the legal requirements and obligations that flow from those missions can be overwhelming to those who are dedicated to fulfilling the organization’s goals. Our Non-Profit Team understands the underlying objectives of each client and we are able to apply our years of legal experience creating, advising, and serving on local and regional non-profit boards. We take great pride in helping community organizations achieve their goals.
