Non-Profit Advisory Services to Help You Lead With Purpose and Precision
Support for the Mission-Minded
Nonprofit work demands passion, but passion alone does not write bylaws, file 501(c)(3) paperwork, or manage board conflicts. That is where Smith Mediation Center steps in.
We advise new and established nonprofit leaders with practical, personalized support for everything from formation and compliance to leadership structure and growth planning. Whether you are launching a grassroots organization or scaling an established foundation, we help you stay aligned with your mission without getting buried in red tape.
Serving clients nationwide via confidential virtual sessions with locations in Michigan and Maryland

We Understand That Purpose Does not Equal Simplicity
Running a mission-driven organization means wearing many hats such as founder, fundraiser, HR, legal reviewer, and board manager, often all at once. You are juggling impact with infrastructure, and every decision feels like it affects lives.
We are here to make that load lighter by offering structured guidance rooted in decades of legal, business, and advisory experience.
Non-Profit Advisory Services Include:
- 501(c)(3) Application Support
- Mission and Vision Clarity
- Board Governance Structuring
- Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation Review
- Fundraising Strategy and Compliance
- HR Policy and Employee Handbook Development
- Conflict Resolution Between Staff or Board
- Growth and Succession Planning
- Strategic Advisory Sessions for Founders and Directors
Whether you are building something new or recalibrating something established, we will help you move forward with both purpose and precision.
New Non-Profit? Let us Build a Strong, Compliant Foundation.
You have the passion, we will help you translate that into a legal structure that supports growth and protects your mission.
With Smith Mediation Center, you will receive step-by-step guidance through:
- Choosing the right legal structure
- Drafting effective bylaws and internal procedures
- Preparing and filing your 501(c)(3) application
- Setting up your first board or advisory council

You do not have to guess your way through compliance. We will walk with you through every step of the process clearly and calmly.
Established Non-Profit? Let us Optimize What You have Built

You Do not Have to Do This Alone
We know the emotional weight of nonprofit work. The stakes feel high. The boundaries feel blurry. And burnout is real.
With us, you get more than compliance, you get clarity. You get more than legal templates, you get human insight from professionals who understand the unique pressures of running a mission-driven organization.
Let us be your partner in structure, stability, and sustainable impact.
Our Process: Strategic, Supportive, and Simple
Step 1: Discovery & Assessment
We begin with a discovery call to understand your goals, challenges, and organizational structure.
Step 2: Customized Planning
From compliance audits to leadership development, we will map out a plan tailored to your current stage of growth.
Step 3: Implementation Support
You will receive practical tools, document templates, and one-on-one guidance to help you execute with confidence.
No jargon. No overwhelm. Just straightforward support designed for mission-driven people doing meaningful work.
Let us Protect Your Mission and Multiply Your Impact
