Free Legal Assistance for Nonprofits

Take advantage of a great opportunity!  If your center needs legal advice and/or counsel, The Law Project (TLP) will provide legal assistance to DFSS/CSD delegate agencies.  TLP-- a program of the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights, provides pro-bono (free) legal assistance to nonprofit organizations working in low-income communities in the greater Chicago area.  

Since 1985, TLP has provided services to clients in the areas of childcare, job training and placement, as well as affordable housing among other community development strategies. Specifically, TLP's Child Care Initiative, with the law firm of DLA Piper, provides services including reviewing key documents and policies as part of a comprehensive legal assessment.  To read the full article, and for additional articles, please download the October issue of Up-Close.
