Attorney-Quality Documents, Created By You!
You probably already know every new nonprofit needs bylaws. But how do you get bylaws that you know are going to work well?
Googling for samples bylaws seems easy, but does the sample follow industry best practices? Would the sample get you in trouble with the IRS??
Can you really rely on an internet search to set your nonprofit up for success? Now, you don't have to.
For just $800, you can create your own bylaws using a system built and tested by a lawyer for nonprofits.
Simply fill out a quick interview, and through the power of document automation Mission Guardian gives you the bylaws of your nonprofit governance dreams!
Maybe you're wondering – why are bylaws important, anyway?
Think of nonprofit bylaws like the nonprofit's game day playbook. It's a big, long document that gives you all the rules and tools you need to run the organization.
If you have a good set of bylaws, it will set you up to succeed as a strong, healthy nonprofit.
As you grow, the bylaws are your nonprofit user manual. Eventually, you will face a situation you're not sure how to handle. (What if the president resigns? What if you need to call a special member vote?) Your bylaws are where you should find answers.
If they're good, the nonprofit bylaws can be a lifesaver. But most of the time, new nonprofits settle for terrible bylaws.
There are lots of steps to getting a new nonprofit up and running. A lot of the time getting the bylaws right just seems like a very boring task.
So, to get through it quickly, one of the founders opens up Google...searches for "nonprofit bylaws sample," then adds some quick edits, and calls it good enough.
Six months or a year later I hear from them because something is an awful mess.
Most of the time I find that DIY bylaws have these problems:
❌ Their bylaws don't comply with their state statute.
❌ Their bylaws don't follow nonprofit best practices.
❌Their bylaws don't have all the details and are missing important terms.
❌ Their bylaws are confusing or full of contradictions.
❌ Their bylaws are not written in a way that new (or existing!) board members can understand.
By the time people get to me with the bylaws they've been working on, they are frustrated and fed up. And about to part with a bunch of money to fix a big problem.
But you don't HAVE to waste your time and money like that. Instead, you can start with a GOOD set of bylaws.
With my course, you'll have bylaws that...
✅ Comply with state statute.
✅ Follow nonprofit industry best practices.
✅ Help build a strong nonprofit that people WANT to give money to.
✅ Use plain English so the board can understand the rules.
✅ Will stand the test of time as you grow and add new board members.
Unless you're an expert in this stuff, it can be really hard to know what to do. Even other lawyers volunteering on a board can get it wrong - let's be real - if it's outside of their main focus area they're probably starting with a Google search too!
Look, I get it. You're here to make a difference - not draft boring documents!
That's where my Mission Guardian system comes in. Now you can get DIY Nonprofit Bylaws designed by a lawyer focused only on nonprofits like yours.
Think of it like a SaaS product (software as a service). The "Mission Guardian" system let's you draft your own set of bylaws with confidence because it's designed by an attorney for nonprofits.
Now for just $800 you can easily create your own document and know that you're starting out on the right foot.
