“I am constantly encouraged by the work of nonprofit organizations and their unflagging dedication to the communities they serve, and am excited about developing additional legal supports for these organizations.”

Beth Dougherty

Director of Legal Education Initiatives

Beth has advised a wide range of nonprofit organizations on all aspects of their activities, including formation and tax-exempt status, board governance, federal and state laws and regulatory compliance, mergers, affiliations, and fundraising compliance. She has also served on the boards of grassroots nonprofit organizations and worked directly in the nonprofit sector, supporting public education initiatives through the City of Philadelphia’s Community Schools Program and child health as a Project Coordinator at Children First.

An active volunteer in her community, Beth has been involved with the East Passyunk Crossing Civic Association since 2008. She is a firm believer in the power of community-based nonprofits and their ability to make a difference and effect change in the communities they serve.
