PAID PARTNERSHIP
Pro Bono Partnership of Ohio
is Celebrating a Decade of Service
to the Community in 2025!
Thank YOU for the important role you play in PBPO’s
mission to strengthen the community by providing free
business legal services and education to nonprofits.
In 2014, a group of driven Cincinnati attorneys saw local
nonprofits struggling to afford critical business legal services.
They stepped up, launching Pro Bono Partnership of Ohio (PBPO)
in 2015 as a lifeline for nonprofits, offering pro bono expertise on
governance, employment, intellectual property, and more.
Since its founding, PBPO’s expert legal services have become a
critical pillar to the operations of over 400 Cincinnati and Dayton
nonprofits. This is possible thanks to the tremendous PBPO
community of talented attorney volunteers, dedicated nonprofit
leaders, and generous supporters.
“When I volunteer with PBPO, I get back so much
more than I give. It gives me the opportunity to learn
about non-profits in our community, meet passionate
leaders who are making an impact, and help them in
a small but meaningful way.”
— Lindsey Baker,
Executive Counsel, Strategic Transactions, GE Aerospace
