Taproot Foundation is a nonprofit organization connecting communities and driving social change. We connect other nonprofits and other social change organizations with skilled volunteers to help them tackle their toughest challenges.
Taproot is creating a world where organizations dedicated to social change have full access to the marketing, strategy, HR, and IT resources they need to be most effective. We pair nonprofit staff with qualified, skilled volunteers for high-impact, high-quality pro bono service in a range of ways, from team-based, long-term projects to one-time, one-on-one consultations.
Our success is powered by the best practices and supportive processes we have honed in over 20 years, working with 19,000+ organizations and over 150,000 skilled volunteers. Since Taproot was founded in 2001, we’ve delivered 1.9 M hours of pro bono service worth over $300 M in value.
