Pro Bono Week (October 21-25, 2024) is a time to celebrate the dedication of skilled volunteers and the inspiring nonprofits they support. Inspired by the American Bar Association’s National Celebration of Pro Bono, Taproot highlights the pro bono movement each year during the last week in October.
At Taproot, we believe organizations tackling critical social issues deserve access to the expertise they need to thrive. This week recognizes the commitment of skilled volunteers providing their services pro bono, as well as the social change organizations harnessing that talent to advance their missions forward.
