Taproot Foundation: Building the Pro Bono Marketplace

Since 2001, Taproot Foundation has proven that pro bono service is a viable and reliable tool for strengthening nonprofit organizations. Today, Taproot continues to lead the field nationally, and seeks to build a pro bono marketplace that, like philanthropy, is large, accessible, professional and transparent. By taking lessons learned from our award-winning Service Grant Program and applying them to our innovative new program areas, we work to stimulate the supply of pro bono resources through our corporate Advisory Services practice, as well as demand for these services by giving nonprofits the tools and training that sets them up for successful pro bono engagements. Our work has evolved to include thought leadership and international field-building, convening global leaders in the social sector to guide the design and direction of the pro bono movement while focusing on infusing a pro bono ethic into business professions, professional schools, companies and nonprofits in communities across the country and around the world.

Remembering 9/11 Through Pro Bono Service
John Kiker’s pro bono story began on September 11, 2001.

John was serving as the Vice President of Marketing Communications for United Airlines at the time of the attacks. His responsibilities included leading a crisis communications team – and coordinating its work with the airline’s humanitarian, operational, and investigative teams – in the event of an accident or other emergency. The communications effort undertaken by his team in the wake of the 9/11 attacks has been cited as being among the most compassionate and comprehensive in the history of the industry.
