About the Role

Join our dynamic nonprofit team as a Mid-Level Attorney dedicated to making a difference! We are looking for a passionate legal professional with a solid background in nonprofit law, particularly in grantmaking and impact-driven initiatives. In this role, you will provide essential legal guidance across various departments while navigating the complexities of tax-exempt organization regulations.

The ideal candidate will possess exceptional, equity-informed communication skills and demonstrate the ability to develop creative legal solutions to meet the challenges we face daily. Your responsibilities will encompass advising on contracts, grantmaking, charitable activities, and compliance with diverse legal requirements. You will manage both long-term projects and daily legal matters, ensuring our organization remains compliant and effective.

As an applicant, be prepared to engage in a broad array of legal issues, including nonprofit tax and regulatory compliance, advocacy, lobbying, donor collaborations, and human resources matters. Additional expectations include project management, legal research, and analysis. Staying informed about relevant local, state, federal, and international laws will be critical to your success.

If you are a well-rounded attorney or are eager to become one quickly, we want to hear from you! Experience in specific legal areas is a plus, but a strong commitment to our mission is essential. We embrace a hybrid work model and welcome applicants from various locations, with a preference for candidates situated in the Washington, DC, or San Francisco Bay Area.
