Public Counsel’s Community Development Project has designed this form Bylaws for a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation to assist nonprofit organizations drafting and revising bylaws and the pro bono attorneys who represent them. The form is annotated with explanatory endnotes, including citations to applicable laws. An editable word version of the text of the bylaws is also available.
This publication was updated in May 2023 and includes suggested language and provisions for organizations that want diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals and practices reflected in their bylaws.
