What It Takes to Launch Compass Pro Bono in Your City
How to bring Compass Pro Bono to your community is based on the size of your metropolitan area. Both models expand access to high-quality pro bono consulting for nonprofits, but they differ in structure and investment.
Validate Market Readiness
Confirm nonprofit needs and volunteer appetite.
Assemble a Founding Board
Recruit a 5–7 person advisory group of local leaders and champions to lead fundraising efforts for the city launch.
Secure Founding Commitments
Raise a minimum of $500K from local sources to seed the first three years of operations.
Hire a Local Leader
Recruit an on-the-ground staff lead who is already deeply integrated in your community.
Launch Programming
Once seed funding is secured, a full launch can happen in as little as four months.
