Welcome to the LEA Not For Profit Discussion Group! Please post related questions, comments, news, etc. to the discussions area. In this space, we invite you to engage in insightful conversations, exchange best practices, and foster meaningful connections across our national borders.
Instigated by Carol Rudge, Head of Not for Profit, HW Fisher LLP (United Kingdom), the Group’s objectives are to engage in insightful conversations, exchange best practices, and foster meaningful connections across our national borders. Challenges, trends and opportunities are discussed and cross-referral opportunities identified for introducing LEA firms to multi-national or local chapters of Not for Profit groups.
What is a Not for Profit? A challenge in commencing the Group was the broad or limited definition member firms were applying to the Not for Profit sector. For the LEA Not For Profit Discussion Group, Not for Profits include:
- Charities and charitable organisations including health, social advocacy groups and foundations
- Educational organisations including schools and universities
- Employee and employer advocacy groups including trade unions
- Trade and professional organisations
- Member based organisations including social and recreations clubs and sporting groups
- Public cultural organisations including museums, art galleries and libraries
- Religious associations.
We generally do not discuss political organisations and hospitals.
