We work with Nonprofits
Our resources are intended to be used by both nonprofit leaders and the attorneys who work with them.
Napa Legal is changing the world.
We are a network of attorneys and nonprofits committed to faith and freedom. Our strategic initiatives provide this network with the resources, formation, and community needed to protect these values.
Newly Updated 2024 Faith and Freedom Index
This week Napa Legal Institute released its 2024 Faith and Freedom Index and urged Americans not to rely on federal law and policy alone - especially as we face uncertainty about how committed or hostile to religious freedom the incoming administration will be. State laws play a huge role in determining whether local institutions like churches, religious schools and charities are able to form, operate, and thrive. The Index scores state laws that affect faith-based, federally tax-exempt nonprofits based on consistent benchmarks for comparison across all 50 states and Washington, DC.
Our key programs are All Access, for nonprofit leaders, the Good Counselor Project, for attorneys, and the Faith & Freedom Index, for policymakers and active citizens.
