Pro Bono Week is an annual global celebration of the impact of pro bono and the people who make it all possible. This year, Taproot Foundation is honoring the week through service. From October 24-30 our team is creating 100+ connections between business professionals and great causes who are in need of support.
We can’t celebrate Pro Bono Week without you! Here are 3 ways to take action with us:

Planning and executing a successful #GivingTuesday campaign can be daunting. You need inviting graphics, compelling messaging, an engaging email strategy, and stand-out social media. Don’t panic: all this is achievable even without a budget or in-house expertise.
