Communities Rise is providing a range of legal and capacity building resources and support to Washington based organizations and small businesses during the COVID-19 crisis.

COVID-19 Legal Clinic for Nonprofits and Small Businesses

This new virtual clinic is designed to help small businesses and nonprofits navigate the legal issues they are experiencing due to Covid-19. This clinic is intended for Washington based small businesses and nonprofits who do not have the resources to access legal services. This clinic is limited to small businesses and nonprofits who have less then 50 employees, annual revenues of less than $2 million, or have had a significant reduction of income due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The clinic offers a free 60-minute consultation by phone or video conference with an attorney.

Capacity Building Support

With a lot in flux right now, we are here to provide additional support to you and your organization or small business. Please use the Support Inquiry form to describe for your nonprofit capacity-building needs (like grant writing or fundraising).
