Washington Attorneys Assisting Community Organizations (WAACO)

In 2003, a group of lawyers came together to form a nonprofit organization that would make a meaningful difference in the community by working with other nonprofits and microentrepreneurs to help them navigate the legal system. They called it Washington Attorneys Assisting Community Organizations (WAACO) – and today it is known as Wayfind. From the minute it launched, Wayfind began to explore how to meet the serious need for pro bono legal services in the nonprofit sector, and how to connect nonprofits in need with business lawyers providing pro bono legal services in a systematic and easy way. Today, Wayfind’s volunteer attorneys have helped hundreds of nonprofits and community organizations.
