How We Work With You!
Corporate Partnerships
Who it’s for: From local startups to global Fortune 500 companies, we partner with you to empower your employees to serve the community in a way that builds upon your CSR and employee engagement goals and meets a need in the community.
What it is: Through our Pro Bono Advisory Program, we tailor pro bono opportunities for your employees that make a huge impact in our communities. In working with a corporate partner, we take a fully customized consultative approach to any creation of an internal corporate pro bono program. From quick consultations to day-long hackathons; from robust 12-week projects to in-depth year-long loaned-employee programs; the engagements range greatly depending on community need, corporate capabilities available, and capacity to provide.
Why it’s important: The corporate sector represents a powerful force for change. When you invest volunteers, expertise, and financial resources, your corporation can strengthen communities and impact social change. Offering pro bono opportunities to your employees plays a key role in helping attract, retain, and develop skilled talent.
