Run to Help Others LEAP!

Please sponsor the North Carolina Bar Association’s Young Lawyer Division’s Ugly Sweater 5K Race on December 9th, 2017 to benefit the North Carolina Lawyers for Entrepreneurs Assistance Program (NC LEAP)!

NC LEAP

NC LEAP is a donor-supported program of the North Carolina Bar Foundation (NCBF), a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Contributions to NC LEAP are tax-deductible. NC LEAP provides low-wealth entrepreneurs and inventors with pro bono business and patent related legal services. Since 2007, NC LEAP has served more than 3,500 clients, focusing on assistance related to starting or expanding a business, completing patent applications and protecting other intellectual property. NC LEAP works with several hundred volunteer attorneys and numerous community partners statewide.

Entrepreneurship plays an important role in revitalizing economically distressed communities in North Carolina. NC LEAP’s goal is to provide sound legal advice necessary to ensure continued entrepreneurial success for individuals whose household income does not exceed 300 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.

“The headwinds of normal business barriers are often too great for young, inexperienced entrepreneurs with limited funding to overcome. NC based entrepreneurism is the seed for economic growth in NC and the future of our states industry.”
 – Matthew Lindsey, owner of Abide, Inc. & software program developer, Matthews, NC

“NC LEAP bridges the gaps between idea creation, investment, and product introduction.”     
 – Robert Wood, inventor of colorimetric filter change indicator, Cary, NC

What Will Your Support Mean?

  • Drafting an operating agreement for an artisanal soda company
  • Determining the best business structure for a mom-and-pop screen printing company
