Strengthening the Nonprofit Sector
Nonprofits have the greatest potential for addressing our society’s
most challenging social and environmental problems, but often lack the
operational resources to fulfill their potential. The Taproot
Foundation exists to close this gap and ensure all nonprofits have the
infrastructure they need to thrive.
We do pro bono
Every year, hundreds of nonprofit organizations rely on the Taproot
Foundation’s award winning Service Grant program to provide millions of
dollars worth of pro bono marketing, HR and IT consulting services that
better equip them to tackle our society’s toughest challenges.
We inspire others to do pro bono
We partner with corporations, universities, and trade associations to
infuse the pro bono ethic into every business profession. By 2020, we
strive to have all business professionals consider pro bono work an
integrated and esteemed part of their careers. As a result, billions of
dollars worth of critical pro bono services will be available to the
nonprofit sector, strengthening its ability to effectively serve our
communities in the long-term.
 | Why "Taproot"? A “taproot” is the core root of a plant (picture
a turnip). It gathers nutrients from lateral roots and delivers them to
a plant to enable it to flourish. We see ourselves as a taproot for the nonprofit sector, drawing nutrients from the community and delivering them to nonprofits to enable them to thrive. |
The Taproot Foundation (Tapfound, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 91-2162645). All donations made to the Taproot Foundation are tax deductible.
