It's a challenging time - for you, the nonprofits you support, and the communities you care about. An innovative approach to building strong, resilient and effective nonprofits can give your grantmaking strategy the added impact you need. The Taproot Foundation has partnered with more than 140 foundations to strengthen nonprofits by engaging business professionals in service.

Our innovative model brings pro bono resources to the nonprofit sector to build capacity, strengthen infrastructure and add efficiency. We complement your cash grants programs with high-quality, outcomes-focused pro bono consulting engagements ("Service Grants"). Working together, we direct significant pro bono resources to nonprofits working in your strategic grant making areas, so you can:

• Meet the critical and tangible needs of nonprofits, especially during challenging times of economic crisis
• Magnify the impact of grant dollars–leveraging pro bono consultants provides an 8:1 return
• Secure your existing investments by developing the capacity of your high potential grantees
• Add a turnkey asset to your grantmaking toolbox, making an immediate impact on your grantee pool
• Support more organizations, letting you say "yes" more often, even within constrained giving parameters

Our partners, including family, community, corporate and other private foundations, have enabled us to provide more than $58 million in value through pro bono consulting to nonprofits.
