Disaster Relief

Lawyers Alliance helps nonprofits provide critical social services and emergency funds to people affected by terrorism, natural disasters, and other tragedies.

We launched our Disaster Relief Initiative in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, to assist nonprofits affected by the disaster and those that were responding to it. We continue to represent and provide legal information to New York nonprofits assisting victims of September 11, Hurricane Katrina, and other disasters. We have helped nonprofits with disaster relief legal matters related to fundraising and grant-making, expansion and downsizing, and compliance with tax-exempt organizations law.

In addition, we offer free downloadable copies of our disaster relief publications and news alerts:

Legal Guidance for New York Nonprofits in the Wake of Katrina
Disaster Relief and Recovery: The Role of Nonprofits Beyond Ground Zero and the Legal Implications of Their Work
