Approach & Services

We tailor our services to provide the right level of hands-on support and guidance, beginning with an articulation of your pro bono strategy. This engagement can then lead to the design of pilot projects ready for launch and eventual scaling, turn-key templates and training for program managers, or the provision of continuous program improvement support and evaluation.  

As the leader in the pro bono service field, Taproot provides customized solutions that fit your needs, regardless of your starting point.

Pro Bono Strategy Setting

For companies who are just entering the world of pro bono service, establishing a strategy and vision for your program can be difficult. Taproot can help guide research and strategy-setting discussions to lay the groundwork to develop a successful pro bono program.

Building a Pro Bono Program from Scratch

Once a strategy is in place, we can help you design a program that matches your company’s unique context and goals. We work with clients to develop the tools and templates needed to launch and maintain a pro bono program. Whether getting your program off the ground means launching a group of pilot projects or offering more robust and scalable recommendations, Taproot can design a program that meets your company’s goals.

Enhancement of an Existing Pro Bono Program

We work with companies to strengthen and scale their existing pro bono programs. We evaluate the systems already in place and work with the client to develop more sustainable and impactful tools that ultimately increase the effectiveness, efficiency and scalability of their program.

Specialized Research Projects

Companies with specific areas of interest can count on the Taproot Foundation to strategically design, execute and report on specialized research projects. Our history of developing pro bono service best practices and reports on the field can help companies be leaders in the pro bono movement and gain insight into this emerging field.

Pro Bono Service Education & Training

By sponsoring webinars, seminars and other education initiatives for volunteers and nonprofit partners, companies can ensure they are maximizing the impact of their engagement program. The Taproot Foundation staff will design, host and present capacity building workshops that cater to each client’s specific goals and target audiences.
