Taproot Foundation, a national nonprofit that connects social change organizations with volunteers sharing expertise pro bono, is making its annual U.S. Pro Bono Summit virtual this June. Leaders from across sectors will explore how the pro bono ecosystem can support the social good organizations and small businesses who will be a vital part in rebuilding our communities in the wake of our current crisis. Webinars will be hosted on Wednesday, June 17, and Thursday, June 25.
“This global crisis is having a profound impact on our communities,” notes Lindsay Firestone Gruber, Taproot Foundation’s President and CEO, “and the ripple effects will be felt well into the future. We’re bringing leaders together with these webinars so that we are all prepared to step up—through pro bono service—when organizations and small businesses are ready for support in rebuilding their communities.”
The U.S. Pro Bono Summit is supported in part by Impact Sponsor Johnson & Johnson, and Leadership Sponsors Deloitte, Disney, and Prudential Financial.
