Great pro bono doesn’t happen by accident. Now you can see what makes it work.
New Taproot Plus user badges highlight the habits that power strong partnerships, helping you find the right match and build momentum faster.
Whether you’re looking for a skilled volunteer or your next nonprofit organization, badges help you quickly recognize those with a proven track record of showing up, following through, and creating impact.
Nonprofits and pro bono consultants are awarded badges through real work—completed engagements, consistent communication, and partner feedback. When a badge is awarded, you’ll receive an email letting you know—as well as an opportunity to share your achievement on social media to celebrate your success.
Strong partnerships are built in small moments: Clear deadlines. Showing up prepared. Doing the work. This behind the scenes interaction is now visible in Taproot Plus profiles through user badges.
