Legal Representation? Check!

We have formed a Board of Directors. We are five at this point in time. Yesterday we had our first meeting with our new team of legal advisors. CFDP has been accepted to the Community Enterprise Clinic at the Duquesne University School of Law. The Community Enterprise Clinic is a transactional clinic that provides legal counseling and representation to non-profit groups and organizations that are committed to effecting change through economic and community development in distressed communities in the Greater Pittsburgh area...and Africa, too :). Two student interns and their supervising attorney will provide pro bono legal assistance to CFDP as we file our Articles of Incorporation with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and submit our Application for Recognition of Exemption Under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This means we will be able to accept tax-deductable donations!! Cha-ching!
