Celebrating Five YearsAttorneys Strengthening Nonprofits

ANNUAL REPORT 2019

MISSION: Pro Bono Partnership of Ohio strengthens our community by engaging attorney volunteers to provide nonprofits with free legal services tailored to their business needs.

VISION: We envision our community empowered and enhanced by thriving nonprofits and engaged attorney volunteers.

Dear Friends and Supporters of PBPO:

Just five years ago, a passionate group of local lawyers had an idea… what if we connected area attorneys wanting to make a difference, with nonprofits needing the legal guidance to create that positive change?

A lofty goal that could not be done alone. So, we put the call out...and you answered.

In 2019, we celebrated our five-year anniversary, taking a moment to reflect on all that you helped us accomplish:

• an amazing 625+ attorney volunteers have donated their time and talents, • handling over 1300 unique legal matters,• enabling us to serve more than 200 area nonprofit clients, • saving our nonprofit friends nearly $3 million!

As proud as we are of how far we’ve come, we are just as excited to look to the future and what can be achieved in the next five years. Your belief in our mission and support of our cause will allow us to continue to engage new attorney volunteers, welcome additional nonprofit clients, and provide nonprofits a solid legal foundation so that their leadership can focus on what they do best -- making a deep impact on the people and communities they serve.

Thank you for celebrating Five Years of PBPO! We look forward to working with you for many more to come.

We are small but growing quickly and have many needs for documents, policies, waivers, etc. to help make sure we’re doing things well and following the rules so we can continue to grow and thrive. There is no way we would be able to secure and afford this level of professional, quality legal help without the assistance of PBPO! “

” Megan Fischer

CEO & Founder, Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank

My experience with PBPO has been incredibly rewarding. Not only can I put my legal skills to work to benefit nonprofits in my neighborhood and community, but PBPO also affords me the opportunity to meet and connect with many wonderful people throughout Cincinnati.
