To help strengthen your capacity, everything we offer builds upon skills that you and in your organization already hold. We help you meet critical organizational needs and provide you with tools and trainings that build skills and support your organization’s long-term health. We offer a range of services, including trainings, clinic opportunities, and cohort models of support.
Our aim is that you will feel connected and supported to take on the challenges involved in building power in your community. Together, over time, we’ll begin to transform our communities, as well as the nonprofit, microenterprise, public, and philanthropic sectors.
While we would love to assist everyone, please note our services are intended for Washington state organizations.
Legal Clinics & Direct Representation
We serve Washington state organizations by offering opportunities to receive much needed legal assistance. Organizations can access legal services via the two options below:
Legal clinics offer an opportunity to speak with an attorney to answer general nonprofit questions. See upcoming legal clinics.
Direct legal services provide in-depth assistance on a variety of nonprofit matters including governance, bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, contracts, and conflict of interest policies. Apply for direct legal services.

Organizational Support Cohorts
Members of our peer groups, which we call cohorts, collaborate with leaders from other community organizations in a space where they can be seen, heard, and supported to achieve their goals.
Together, we engage in peer learning, culturally responsive trainings, and individualized coaching to strengthen organizations. All cohorts are by application only.
