Meet Our Attorney Audrey K. Chisholm, Esq.

She paid for the expenses of the nonprofit out of her own pocket from her summer internships and was only able to host smaller programs due to the limited budget.

She learned strategies that major law firms used when forming nonprofits for their clients and studied the best practices of the most successful nonprofits.
