Fiscal Sponsorship: Good Counsel provides fiscal sponsorship to groups aligned with its mission to support social entrepreneurs and emerging nonprofits. In 2024, we managed tax-deductible donations and grants for various charitable projects, including Bumble Bee Agency and Project Liberation. The Bumble Bee Agency quickly established itself as a trusted partner for families navigating medical, educational, and disability support systems, helping multiple families secure IEP eligibility, developing customized care coordination tools, and launching practical caregiver resources. Project Liberation continued to empower justice-involved women through trauma-informed programs.
Internship Program: In 2024, Good Counsel Services completed its sixth year of partnership with Michigan State University Social Science Science Scholars Program. Through this collaboration, our internship program continues to launch legal careers, build student self confidence , and inspire undergraduates to pursue pro-social professions. Participants consistently report an excellent experience, describing the opportunity as both hands-on and deeply insightful into the legal and nonprofit fields. This year, three Social Science Scholar interns worked closely with our team, gaining practical skills in nonprofit management and exposure to real-world legal practice.
