Pro Bono
Aid to a Nonprofit That Helps Children with Autism
Nelson Mullins attorneys in 2007 began providing free services to the Autism Advocate Foundation (AAF) in Myrtle Beach, becoming the first attorneys to assist the foundation. Established in 2004, the Autism Advocate Foundation is a nonprofit organization formed by parents of children with autism spectrum disorders living in Horry County, S.C. The goal is to provide support and services to individuals with autism spectrum disorders so that they may become active, contributing, and fulfilled members of the community. Nelson Mullins attorneys create corporate books, draft bylaws and amendments, and draft policies, contracts, and releases for their various programs, among other services. Attorneys are also drafting a grant policy, grant agreement, and grant application for a relief fund the AAF has established in addition to an independent contractor agreement.
