Trust & boundaries
What this is — and what it is not
Default for boundaries and tax language. Narrative (what / why / roadmap): About. Live counts and methodology: Credibility. If another page conflicts with this one on legal or tax framing, treat this page as authoritative.
Three lanes on this site
Nora Foundation builds public-interest tools; federal 501(c)(3) recognition is pending. Nora's Law names our platform and framework—not a bill in Congress. For Nora is a separate litigation-support campaign and is not tax-deductible.
Next: if you are in an active case, use Start Here; for research limits, read Membership.
Not a law firm
The Nora Foundation is a nonprofit organization, not a law firm. Nothing here is legal advice or an attorney-client relationship.
Not emergency services
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services (e.g. 911 in the U.S.). This platform does not provide crisis response or legal representation.
Human review when it matters
AI-assisted and automated outputs can be wrong. Verify sources and involve qualified counsel before relying on anything in filings or court. We design workflows to surface sources and uncertainty — not to replace counsel or your own judgment.
Funding & tax status
determination is pending with the IRS. Donations should not be treated as tax-deductible unless and until that approval is granted. Receipts are provided for all foundation donations.
For Nora is a separate litigation campaign and is not tax-deductible.
Research access
The research workspace is donation-funded, not sold as a subscription. Access and fair-use limits are described on Membership & research access. Denied runs return a clear path to support the platform — not a vague paywall.
Public vs verified
Most of the site is open without an invite: guides, tool listings, /start, /proof, and this page. Some collaboration and heavier compute may require verified membership (identity or community checks for access — not foundation certification of AI or legal conclusions) — it is not an invite-only product end-to-end. The Community page explains that split before you apply.
