About

We drive social change by leading, mobilizing, and engaging professionals in pro bono service.

At Taproot, we are the connectors, creating meaningful change in our communities.

For over two decades, our programs and services have connected social good organizations with skilled volunteers—passionate professionals with expertise in areas such as human resources, finance, marketing, strategic planning, and IT—through structured consultations and projects to assist organizations in tackling critical challenges.

92 percent of nonprofits report a lack of critical resources. Taproot can help.

In 2014, we launched Taproot Plus, an open-access, online platform that enables nonprofits to connect directly with skilled professionals.

Nonprofits and volunteers can collaborate on virtual projects and one-hour consultations anytime and anywhere.

We also design and implement corporate pro bono programs that leverage employee skills, going beyond traditional employee engagement to include leadership development and team-building.

We are dedicated to finding new ways to innovate across the Taproot Foundation to fulfill our mission and support organizations that lift up our communities.

Our Values

Pragmatic Optimism

We believe it takes audacity to try to change the world and effective management to follow through.

Impact-Oriented

We believe effective pro bono service puts the needs of the clients first.

Playful Professionalism

We believe when people integrate their personality and values into their work, they have the greatest impact and are most fulfilled.

Progress

We believe people, organizations, and societies must constantly move forward to survive.

Curious about our name?

Like the core root of a plant that inspires our name, Taproot nourishes social change organizations by connecting them with the expertise and insights of skilled volunteers, enabling both to thrive.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

We commit to growing our Taproot community into one that is increasingly diverse of backgrounds, identity, and experience. We recognize that solving the social problems of today and tomorrow will require the audacious efforts of a movement of people who are as diverse in every respect as our world in general, and each of the regions we partner with in particular.
