Every day, nonprofit groups around the country are meeting a wide variety of community needs, often with volunteer and corporate philanthropic assistance. Yet while these organizations are doing important and innovative work, they often cannot take their ideas to scale, in part because they lack the professional skills needed to operate as efficiently as possible, or to successfully plan for their growth.
To help rectify this situation, The President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation initiated a challenge to leverage $1 billion in skilled volunteering and pro bono services from the corporate community.
Led by the Corporation for National and Community Service, A Billion + Change is the three-year campaign designed to meet the challenge and redefine pro bono.
