We begin by working with you to identify philanthropic, employee engagement, talent development, and training goals. We then design the program, operational strategy, marketing approach, and evaluation tactics to deliver measurable results.

  • Team Consulting – A functional or cross-functional group of corporate volunteers focus on a defined nonprofit challenge. Ideal for talent development and upskilling.
    ~2 hours/week, 6 weeks-6 months,
  • Day Of Service – In a half- or full-day format, employee volunteers provide skills-based consulting to one or more nonprofits, either in a “Flash Consulting” model where a team of 5-8 volunteers with shared skillsets are matched to a nonprofit challenge or a “Pitch Competition” format where multiple cross-functional volunteer teams compete to generate the best solution for a nonprofit challenge. Great for large-scale employee engagement.
    3-8 hours
  • Hotline – The Pro Bono Hotline pairs social impact leaders with skilled volunteers for one hour of advisory support on a sticky organizational challenge.
    1 hour
  • Coaching – A mid- or senior-level corporate employee provides guidance on a specific organizational challenge. This one-on-one model pulls senior leaders out of their comfort zone to apply their deep expertise in a new environment. The nonprofit executive benefits from the functional acumen and external perspective of the coach.
    2 hours/month, 3-6 months
  • Sabbatical – A corporate volunteer provides a nonprofit with full-time, typically on-site support for a period of six weeks to one year. Sabbaticals are a deep investment in an issue area or organization and can be a powerful CSR differentiator for a company as well as a valuable talent and leadership development opportunity for the employee.
