Online: Let's Go Legal
Learn state and federal laws and legal compliance for Washington nonprofits
Online via Zoom
Let’s Go Legal is here to help you achieve your mission and stay compliant in the process. This virtual workshop will get you started on a road to compliance by thinking of your nonprofit like a car. Just like a car, you need to register your nonprofit and know how to operate the organization. There are state and federal rules of the road to follow. Your nonprofit needs money and resources (fuel) to power the organization. The people in your car matter too, these are your nonprofit’s valuable workers.
Lastly, similar to cars, every organization has a unique look and feel as well as special materials that you may want to protect. The session will also cover bylaws and how to use them to strengthen your board practices as well as advocacy and ways to grow your mission within the public sector.
The virtual workshop will cover:
- State Law
- Federal Law
- Fundraising
- Employment Law
- Intellectual Property Law

Livio De La Cruz
Interim Co-Executive Director, Legal Services, Communities Rise
Livio De La Cruz (he/him) is a nonprofit attorney who brings several years of experience building, growing, and supporting grassroots, nonprofit organizations. Originally born in the Dominican Republic, Livio grew up in New York and Arizona before moving to Seattle in 2014. Before law school, Livio was a talented software engineer who worked for independent videogame studios, virtual reality startups, and Microsoft. His interest in the law began when he became deeply involved with several local police accountability activist groups. Livio became a lawyer in order to deepen and amplify his contributions to these and other social movements. He quickly developed an interest and specialty in advising organizational clients on transactional legal matters—an unusual choice for a public-interest attorney. This specialization was directly informed by his real-world, first-hand experience in founding and working within grassroots nonprofits. When he’s not working or volunteering, Livio can often be found nerding out about game design, film, TV, music, and other works of art.
