Grace,
You may want to contact The Graphic Artists Guild.
Maybe they can offer some advice or attorneys (if you
choose that direction).
Contact info is:
90 John Street, Suite 403
New York, NY 10038-3202
212-791-3400
www.gag.org
You can also always sue them in small claims
court,without an attorney. Although every state has a
maximum award allowance and I do not know how much you
were supposed to be paid. It's true, without a
contract you do not have much leverage, it will be
your word against theirs. However, get the job posting
from your school that shows it as a freelance project.
Freelance suggests payment. This can be used as
evidence. Also
You may want to speak to your schools career
development center and ask them to intervene.
Perhaps they recall the payment terms when they
accepted to post the ad. They may also speak w/the
non-profit directly to obtain payment on your behalf.
I hope this helps.
Good luck.
