非营利组织 & 小型企业法律援助
关于我们的项目
自1999年以来，D.C. 酒吧公益中心的非营利组织 & 小企业法律援助项目 have provided legal information, 表示, and training to community-based nonprofit organizations that serve D.C. residents living on low incomes and small businesses that contribute to the economic health and wellbeing of D.C. 社区.
非营利性法律援助项目
The 公益性服务 Center's 非营利组织 Legal Assistance Program assists D.C. 地区社区非营利组织. Many of these nonprofits provide vital services and would be unable to afford an attorney without significantly diminishing their ability to serve client populations. 非营利性法律援助项目 provides pro bono legal assistance and training for these nonprofits while offering opportunities for transactional attorneys to bolster the important work of these local organizations.
小企业法律援助项目
The 公益性服务 Center's 小型企业法律援助 Program supports entrepreneurs serving low-income 社区. Establishing small businesses in low-income communities creates employment opportunities for residents. 针对低收入企业家, a small business also provides a way for its owners to create and build wealth that can be passed on to their families. 小企业法律援助项目 presents a great way for the transactional legal community to assist in D.C. 通过公益服务促进经济发展.
