Year In Review: Our Favorite Moments from 2024

What a year, Taproot Community! With your support, we continue to grow skills-based volunteering and expand resources to nonprofits by empowering investments of time and talent. Here are a few of our favorite moments from 2024: 

Partnered with forward-thinking companies and grantmakers 

We are proud to have worked with more than 40 corporate and grantmaking partners throughout 2024, co-creating programs that harness the expertise of their employees and grantees to achieve greater impact. 

Empowering nonprofits and making a difference 

Taproot delivered pro bono to thousands of nonprofits and mobilized an even greater number of skilled volunteers. We also launched a Nonprofit Resiliency Survey and gathered insights from over 500 professionals to better understand nonprofit needs (results coming soon!) and throughout December, we’ll be mobilizing additional volunteers to match with open Taproot Plus projects (join Taproot Live!). 

New ideas to grow the skilled volunteerism movement 

Taproot partnered with Johnson & Johnson to release “Impact at Scale: A Blueprint for Global Skills-Based Volunteering,” a framework for multinational companies looking to broaden their volunteerism efforts. We also released our newly updated Pro Bono Valuation, which puts a monetary value on each hour of skills-based volunteer service. Both tools demonstrate Taproot’s commitment to leading the field in innovation and best practices. 

Celebrated and convened as a community 

We hosted a dynamic gathering of cross-sector partners from across corporate, philanthropic, and nonprofit fields for a revival of our in-person U.S. Pro Bono Summit, themed “Better Together,” held in New York. We also bid a fond farewell, to Lindsay Gruber, Taproot CEO who spent an incredible 20 years leading our work as a “Root.” 

Throughout 2024, we came together to support thousands of organizations, connect communities, and drive meaningful change.   

We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for your continued support of our work and for being part of this Taproot Community. 

During this season of giving, we hope that you will consider a gift to support Taproot’s mission. As a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of supporters like you who share our vision for greater resource equity. Even better, all new and increased donations made before December 31 will be matched up to $45,000. Together, we can make a greater impact!
