COMMUNITY LEGAL RESOURCES

Michigan Community Resources provides an array of services to support organizations that serve low-income communities. Our flagship program is the Pro Bono Legal Assistance Program. This leverages the support of volunteer business attorneys to provide transactional legal services to qualified nonprofits.

Since inception in 1998, we have served over 1,200 nonprofits at a value of about $15 million; provided almost $1 million in mini-grants for neighborhood beauty and safety initiatives; and provided vacant property-related assistance to over 200 community organizations in Detroit.

For more information on our legal programs and opportunities to volunteer, please contact Maureen Krasner at mkrasner@mi-community.org.
