Before working with Chisholm Law Firm, my team and I faced a lot of uncertainty on the details necessary to obtain a 501(c)3 for our nonprofit, R&R Village. However, the Chisholm team was very helpful in answering any questions my team and I had about the process, as well as providing us with the necessary documentation and information necessary to obtain our Tax-Free Status and ensure we are operating smoothly. I would definitely recommend this black-owned law firm to anyone else interested in owning a nonprofit.

Chisholm Law Firm is very professional, Breanna McCarthy helped me setup my non-profit organization. I am very pleased by her responsiveness and the effort she made to ensure I understood the legal aspects. The additional services they offer provide support well beyond the completion of setting up the company and the cost is very reasonable.

Chisholm law firm is arguable the best Non-profit expert in the US. I got my 501c3 approved within 2months. The packages they offer are way above their charges. I was exposed to so many information and legal documentation on how to run a non-profit, I hitherto dont know about. I was practically schooled on a weekly basis all through the application process. The amount of information on how to succeed on your non-profit is indeed a text book reference, qualified to be accredited and thought as a course in colleges and Universities. I am better equipped to succeed now. Chisholm and her team are super-fantastic. Shout out to Andrew, Caila, Breanna McCarthy. This guys are professionals and geniuses. Don't Hesitate for a second to engage them to help you. 100% Guarantee

Meet Our Attorney Audrey K. Chisholm, Esq.

Audrey’s passion for helping people start their own nonprofit organizations came from adversity. She started her nonprofit, Revolution Leadership, Inc., as a college student. Although she had big dreams for the organization – she couldn’t seem to get grants or donations to help grow the organization. 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.

Things changed when began studying nonprofit law while in law school. She learned strategies that major law firms used when forming nonprofits for their clients and studied the best practices of the most successful nonprofits. She realized that due to the the way her nonprofit was structured – she was missing out on funding opportunities.

Using her newfound legal knowledge, she obtained 501c3 tax-exempt status and grew her nonprofit into an organization that has served 1,689 students and has awarded 34 college scholarships. As a result, Revolution Leadership® receives major grants from Wells Fargo®, Enterprise® as well as corporate sponsorships from Wal-mart®, Olive Garden® and Chick-fil-A®.

She graduated from law school and started Chisholm Law Firm, PLLC – a firm that would help others form nonprofits that would be eligible for major grant funding. Audrey’s nonprofit practice includes having successfully formed 501c3 tax-exempt nonprofit organizations for clients throughout the United States ranging from startups to a Fortune 500 company.

She is a published author and her latest book became the #1 bestselling book in the Nonprofit Management and Leadership category on Amazon called "Start A 501c3 Nonprofit That Doesn’t Ruin Your Life: How to Legally Structure Your Nonprofit to Avoid I.R.S. Trouble, Lawsuits, Financial Scandals & More!"

She has served on the board of directors of several prominent nonprofit organizations including the board of directors for Omicron Delta Kappa Leadership Honor Society for six years and the board of the Florida State University Torchbearers and Florida State University Recent Graduate Development Council with combined annual budgets exceeding $1 million.

Attorney Chisholm is a member in good standing of the Florida Bar. She is an AV-Preeminent Rated attorney by Martindale-Hubbell® which is the highest distinction a lawyer can achieve. She has been nominated for the Florida Legal Elite award, which recognizes the state’s top lawyers as selected by their peers.
