Taproot Foundation is leading the effort to increase access to high-quality pro bono services for public benefit organizations working to address our communities’ most pressing needs. We are pursuing three strategies as we build the field of pro bono service:

Through our innovative Service Grant Program, we make grants of high-quality, professional consulting services at no cost to nonprofits. Business professionals in marketing, IT, strategy and HR donate their expertise as pro bono consultants for projects with defined deliverables that will ultimately build the capacity of nonprofits over the long-term.

Taproot Foundation is the national leader in integrating pro bono work into the careers of business professionals and the fabric of companies, organizations, and professional services firms. By providing customized consulting services and training through our Pro Bono Action Tank, we support the business community in its efforts to customize, formalize and scale the field of pro bono service.

The Pro Bono Action Tank provides cutting-edge thought leadership, best practices and resources necessary to advance the pro bono movement. PBAT works with academic, trade and business leaders to inspire and enable the business community to engage in pro bono service, develop standards to ensure high-quality service delivery and make it easier for all public benefit organizations to access the expertise they need to achieve their missions.

PBAT receives guidance from its Leadership Council, which is committed to PBAT’s success through living the mission internally and spreading the pro bono ethic throughout the professional community. The council and other strategic partners allow us to collaborate and improve the supply and quality of pro bono service around the world.
