PILCH Not For Profit Project
PILCH is conducting a special project to provide further pro bono legal assistance and legal training to Not for Profit (NFP) organisations in Victoria.
Pro Bono Legal Services
NFPs with public interest objectives are eligible for pro bono legal assistance through PILCH's Public Interest Scheme and currently account for more than half the matters referred each year by the Scheme. The advice requested by NFPs covers a wide range of legal issues such as advice on legal structure, constitutions and reporting; taxation (i.e. eligibility for endorsement as Income Tax Exempt Charities and Deductible Gift Recipients); employment and industrial relations (i.e. employment contracts and policies for paid and unpaid volunteer staff), intellectual property and information technology, defamation, media and entertainment (i.e. press releases, submissions and advocacy), property, building and tenancies (i.e. renewal and negotiation of leases) and insurance (i.e. exposure to liability for workplace activities, fundraising and public events).
PILCH has the capacity to refer NFPs to law firms and barristers who are expert in these and other areas of law. For information on applying for assistance from PILCH, please refer to How to Obtain Legal Assistance.
The following pages provide information on the Not For Profit Project, including seminar details, registration forms, and materials; NFPs assisted by PILCH, including summaries of legal matters and links to NFP websites; and online and downloadable resources for NFPs.
