Nonprofit information

Nonprofits throughout Washington State improve our communities by providing social, educational, cultural and charitable services, and by promoting economic development in distressed ares.  Many nonprofits need legal assistance to stabilize their operations and increase their capacity to serve their constituents, but many cannot afford to pay for an attorney's business-related legal assistance without compromising their charitable services.

Does your nonprofit need business legal assistance but can't afford to pay for it?  Check here to see if your organization may be eligible for free legal help through WAACO.  If you would like to apply for legal assistance, please review our application procedures, download and complete our application form, and email it to contact@waaco.org.  If you have questions about your needs or eligibility, please call 1-866-288-9695.

Organizations that need assistance in incorporating or applying for 501(c)(3) status should review the requirements for startup organizations and complete the startup application.

Not sure if you need legal help?  Use our Nonprofit Legal Self-Assessment Checklist for help in understanding common legal obligations, and to identify any legal needs.
