City Year helps students and schools succeed, while preparing the next generation of leaders. City Year AmeriCorps members provide support to students, classrooms and the whole school. Schools that partner with City Year are up to two to three times more likely to improve in English and math assessments, and the more time students spend with AmeriCorps members, the more they improve on skills that help students thrive in school and contribute to their community.
A proud member of the AmeriCorps national service network, City Year is supported by AmeriCorps, local school districts and private philanthropy. City Year partners with public schools in 29 communities across the U.S. and through international affiliates in the U.K. and South Africa.
The Bridgespan Group is a global nonprofit that strives to make the world more equitable and just. Since 2000, we have had the privilege of advising and collaborating with many of the world’s most extraordinary social change leaders including philanthropists, nonprofit and NGO leaders, and mission-aligned private capital partners.
We are passionate about helping social change leaders find solutions to economic and social barriers that perpetuate inequities and prevent individuals, families, and communities from having access to opportunities they need to thrive. We use rigorous research to gain insights that help our clients solve problems and achieve their goals.
Our services include strategy consulting and advising, sourcing and diligence, and leadership team support. We take what we learn from this work and build on it with original research, identifying best practices and innovative ideas to share with the social sector.
Powering what's possible, together
Nonprofits aren't just essential, they're extraordinary. Every day they deliver the life-changing work communities depend on, while navigating a landscape that's more complex than ever.
But what if, instead of just getting by, they had the support to get ahead?
That's what pro bono makes possible. Not as an occasional act, but as a regular part of how the social sector works. For more than 25 years, Taproot has connected over 35,000 nonprofits with skilled professional, pro bono, delivering services valued at more than $350 million.
By collaborating with companies, supporters, and talented professionals across technology, HR, accounting, and more, Taproot helps nonprofits unlock new opportunities, grow their reach, and take their missions further. All while giving individuals the chance to turn what they know into more of what they care about.
That's the power of pro bono. And everyone has a part to play.
