- Free Photo Pro account for Not-for-Profits
Smugmug.com is a top-rated, online photo-sharing service
that includes photo printing. They offer free "Pro"
accounts (normally $150/year) to not-for-profit organizations.
Here's a description from Walt
Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal: "SmugMug...offers
unlimited storage, password protection, retrieval of photos in
high-resolution format and it doesn’t require your friends
to register or to receive spam. It is also a handsome site that
allows you to customize the way your photos are presented and
to tweak the photos themselves, to a limited extent."
- Volunteer
Lawyers for the Arts (VLA)
Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts groups exist in most states and
parts of Canada. They are non-profit organizations established
to meet the legal needs of the artistic community by providing
pro bono legal services. The most basic form of assistance is
with incorporation as a non-profit and establishment of 501(c)(3)
tax-exempt status. While there is no central VLA organization,
the New York VLA website provides a state-by-state
directory of US & Canada VLA organizations as well as
other useful
links.
