If your organization is gearing up for a summer day program or other childcare program in Georgia, you should be aware of recent changes at the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (“DECAL”). DECAL requires that “all programs providing group care for children” complete their new online assessment to see whether the program qualifies for an exemption. This article outlines the new options and process for seeking exemption from DECAL licensing requirements.
As a nonprofit, understanding how to respond to an unemployment claim is crucial not only to protect your organization's finances but also to ensure you are in compliance with Georgia law. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, Wayne Cartwright with Hall, Gilligan, Roberts & Shanlever walks you through the steps to take when you receive an unemployment claim, how to assess the special factors at play for nonprofits, and what to consider if you’re thinking about challenging a claim. Whether you're new to this process or looking to brush up on best practices, this episode is designed to equip you with the knowledge you need to respond to unemployment claims.

As a client of Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta, you know we provide free legal assistance to community-based nonprofits that serve low-income or disadvantaged individuals. We match eligible organizations with volunteer attorneys from the leading corporations and law firms in Atlanta who can assist nonprofits with business law matters. We want to know what’s going on with you. Let us know if you are facing a legal problem or if you have a new project for us. Please don’t contact the volunteer from your last project – please contact your PBPA attorney. We love our volunteers, but all legal requests need to go through PBPA.
Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta always welcomes new legal matters from our clients.
