Providing Support

Legal Counsel

With Community Initiatives, you have a lawyer on-call, ready with answers. We partner with six different law firms, giving project access to a deep bench of legal experts on a wide range of nonprofit legal matters. Community Initiatives offers access to legal experts in the following areas:
  • Trademark
  • Intellectual property
  • Discrimination claims
  • Real estate
  • Employment & Discrimination
  • H-1 B visa extensions
  • Unrelated business income tax
  • Partnership agreements
Occasionally, a project will require highly specialized or intensive legal support. In those cases, Community Initiatives will pair projects with our vetted legal expert at a discounted rate.
Four hands joined in a supportive manner, symbolizing teamwork and unity.
We are a small team and need as much capacity to focus on delivering our mission as possible to have the impact we hope to have. With Community Initiatives, we’re able to lean on the support of the internal teams to help with the administrative side of things and not be required to hold everything ourselves. This makes all of the difference for us!”
