Capacity building that goes farther

Put grantee needs in the lead

Give grantees the flexibility to pursue the expertise that will create the most value for their organization. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all approach, Taproot helps them define their own needs and connect with skilled professionals equipped to help.

Build for what your grantees need most


No two portfolios—or grantees—have the same capacity needs. We work with you to build a pro bono program around your goals and the organizations you support, putting specialized expertise where it can deliver the greatest value.


That might mean supporting a specific cohort of grantees, focusing expertise around shared capacity challenges, or giving organizations flexible access to support as needs arise. Whatever the approach, we tailor the program to help your grantees solve critical organizational challenges, strengthen their capacity, and get more from the funding you already provide.
