SUMMARY:Communities Rise Nonprofit Legal Health Checklist Training- In Person

We do this by supporting nonprofits\, community based organizations\, and small businesses to grow\, thrive\, and build lasting economic power. While Communities Rise serves all eligible nonprofits and small businesses in Washington State\, we prioritize organizations with annual budgets of 500k or less and are led by or owned by people of color. \n\n\n\nJoin us on Thursday October 1st\, 2026 11-2pm PST in Downtown Kent for an immersive and interactive workshop on common areas of law and compliance for nonprofits\, including: State and federal legal requirements\, corporate governance requirements\, fundraising rules\, managing staff and volunteers\, intellectual property basics\, and more. Come with your general questions! All are welcome and will enrich the experience. This workshop is suited best for those who have a direct hand in the organizational structure and decision making power for your community based organization. Due to the limited size of this workshop please register if only if you are able to attend the workshop in its entirety. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is sponsored by the City of Kent and we prioritize Kent located and Kent resident serving organizations for this limited space workshop. We thank the City of Kent for their partnership. Full location details will be provided closer to the training date.
