Event Details

POSTPONED - WE HAVE POSTPONED THIS CAMPFIRE CONVERSATION UNTIL EARLY IN 2012. WE WILL POST A NEW DATE AND TIME SOON. WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.


Craigslist Foundation believes that strong communities and neighborhoods are the cornerstone of our society.

You asked us for more time with the leaders and innovators who spoke at Boot Camp. We listened.

Campfire Conversations are conference calls where you can help shape the agenda, hear more from your favorite presenters, explore topics you may have missed at Boot Camp, and more.

Join leaders of Taproot Foundation for a conversation about the best practices of bringing pro bono expertise to your community organization or nonprofit. On this call, you’ll get a chance to:

  • Share your challenges in finding expertise, managing projects or getting projects successfully launched.
  • Explore Taproot’s “competencies map” to discover what solutions could come from the smart use of pro bono providers.
  • Discuss data from a recent survey about the challenges, needs and stumbling blocks of getting pro bono.
  • Learn Taproot’s top 5 best practices for making sure you get the best pro bono support possible.
  • Get answers to your questions about how to implement pro bono, how to work effectively with professional volunteers, how to overcome common obstacles and get to success.
Who Should Participate

Community builders and nonprofit leaders, board members, and engaged volunteers everywhere will benefit from this discussion. The subject matter is particularly appropriate if you or your team are or would be responsible for directing pro bono volunteers.
 
Those considering applying for Taproot service grants must be in one of their core areas: Chicago, San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, Washington DC or Los Angeles.
 
About Taproot Foundation

Taproot’s mission is to lead, mobilize and engage professionals in pro bono service that drives social change. Taproot offers three core programs to increase nonprofits’ access to pro bono services. Through these programs they provide millions of dollars in services annually aimed at best enabling organizations to address local social issues. Their signature Service Grant program operates in five cities and, since its inception in 2001, has engaged professionals in over 780,000 hours of pro bono service on over 1,300 projects.


Boot campers participate free! Everyone else pays a nominal fee that helps us defray the cost of the conference call recording and helps us keep our educational content affordable.

Before the conference call, you will receive a call-in number and instructions, as well as access to a shared document where you can pose question you want Joe to address and join in group notetaking and resource sharing during the call.

These conference calls are made possible by American Express. Registration is sponsored by Eventbrite.
