Have Questions

Nonprofit organizations don’t always have access to the marketing, HR, technology, or planning resources they need to tackle the issues of their communities. Too many organizations are understaffed, operating on small budgets, and facing challenges that would benefit from targeted subject matter expertise. That’s where you come in.

“I do pro bono because I feel like the work from my 25+ year career is put to best use by helping those in my community – my neighbors.”

Mike Stanislawczyk

Technical Solutions Provider

“Giving back to nonprofits through pro bono brings increased meaning to all of the business skills that I learn and apply daily in my professional environment – the service rejuvenates me.”

Pavan Singh

Strategy and Marketing Expert

“Pro bono is applying your skills to an organization that probably can't do what you can, and helping create organizational sustainability that will have a larger community reach and impact than you can likely have as an individual.”

Bill Tucker

Business and Marketing Consultant

“My favorite part of doing pro bono is the understanding that I have the ability to make a positive difference.”

Vinisha Parsi

“I do pro bono because I'll never be financially rich, but I have been blessed with a wonderful life. I have the time to give back to my community.”

Janice Criddle

“I had such a rich, satisfying experience in working with an all-star team of consultants and in delivering meaningful, effective work to a wonderful organization.”
