In 2022 PILnet and ECNL launched the Global Nonprofits Guide (GNG). The Guide aims to support nonprofit organizations in strengthening operations, financial access, and relocation by providing an easily accessible and user-friendly platform for nonprofit laws. The project is with the support of our partner organizations DLA Piper and ECNL. The goal of the Guide is to empower civil society organizations by providing a free online tool  where users can find all regulatory and legal information related to opening and operating a nonprofit worldwide. 

Over the last two years, we have had three secondees who have enabled us to better cater to the needs of nonprofit organizations looking to establish an entity. This January, we are proud to welcome our newest secondees, Hugo and Pablo! Hugo Antonio Villalobos Romero and Pablo Rueda Carmona are joining us from Ritch Mueller’s Mexico City office to support PILnet’s work on the Global Nonprofits Guide by assisting us in developing the Guide further and making it more user-friendly.

 

Below is a testimonial from a past secondee (2024) from this project;

Last year we had the pleasure to work with Cliodhna from Arthur Cox, who was supporting the Guide with research on legal threats facing nonprofits across the different jurisdictions featured in the tool.
