Results
“We engaged NFP Lawyers at the beginning of our journey some 4 years ago, to help us bring to life our passion of wanting to help farmers experiencing drought and other natural disasters. Joanne and her team have enabled us to navigate the NFP requirements but their understanding of our charity, has made it possible for Drought Angels to accept any challenge head on with confidence.”
