Napa Legal Institute (NLI) was launched in 2019 to provide corporate education and legal resources for religious nonprofits aligned with the Catholic faith.
The founders of NLI realized that, as the legal environment increases in complexity, spiritual entrepreneurs will need specific education and timely resources so they may exercise their religious liberty without fear of transgressing the law. This requires a better knowledge of taxes, corporate structures, and a tangle of local, state, and federal labor laws and regulations.
Without this type of knowledge, religious nonprofits will be impeded in their ability to evangelize and provide the social services that are indispensable to civil society. NLI recognizes that the explicit religious identity of these organizations inspires them to provide such services.
