Let’s advance pro bono, together


We’re shaping what’s next for pro bono, building the research, standards, and systems that bring great pro bono to more nonprofits. It’ll take innovators, and leaders across the field. Are you in?

Build What's Next

IGNITE

Nov 4-5, 2026 • New York City

IGNITE Summit is where the future of pro bono gets built. Cross-sector leaders convene with one goal: multiply what pro bono can do so every nonprofit can count on it.

Innovation studio


Taproot helped pioneer modern pro bono service 25 years ago. Our Innovation Studio is where we design for the next era.


No one knows more about making pro bono work, and no one reaches more nonprofits and skilled professionals. Our studio puts both to work to take on challenges the field hasn’t answered yet. Through real-world programs and partnerships, we test new ways to create greater value on all sides of the pro bono marketplace—and strengthen the infrastructure that connects them. What works becomes part of Taproot’s DNA or gets shared with the field—turning what we learn into greater impact and scale.


Have a challenge, idea, or opportunity we should tackle together? Let’s talk.

Our latest innovation pilots:

Nonprofit AI Readiness

We’ve launched a first-of-its-kind initiative that puts nonprofits at the front of responsible AI adoption while building new skills for the pro bono consultants who make it possible. This initiative was made possible with support from OKTA.

Research and insights


We study what’s changing across nonprofits, pro bono, and the world of work—from keeping a pulse on what nonprofits need, to understanding what makes pro bono deliver the greatest value.


We do it alongside sector leaders, philanthropies, and innovators, ready to invest in the questions that matter—and turn what we learn into tools and practices that can scale. Let’s talk.

Human Skills Report

As AI reshapes work, “human skills” like problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and adaptability matter more than ever. Skills that are hard to learn in a classroom. Taproot’s Human Skills at Work report shows how pro bono service outperformed traditional training for building human skills.
