“Compass Pro Bono does a great job in matching business professionals with inspiring non-profit organizations that recognize potential areas for improvement. I have been fortunate to lead two fantastic teams in providing impactful recommendations (and even some implementation support), enabling our clients to deliver their services more efficiently.“

“Compass is incomparable in its ability to offer hundreds of hours of analysis and support providing an honest and unbiased analysis of a business. Our organization would have never been able to afford this kind of research. The advice provided from a third party inspired and motivated the whole organization to embrace positive change.”

“Volunteering with Compass is a perfect way to use your professional skills to help out local non-profits – I would recommend it to anyone who is trying to find a way to contribute to their community!“

“Our volunteer Compass team was highly competent, communicative and passionate about the work they were doing for us. The project managers were professional, communicative, helpful and easy to work with. They came to visit the site and had multiple meetings with myself (executive director) and our board. The result of the project will help us make an informed decision on making an even greater impact in our community.”

“The experiences gained through Compass is invaluable for the Pro Bono teams as well as the clients. This is one organization that I will continue working with!!!“

“Compass Pro Bono is an incredible opportunity to improve your technical skillsets while also building strong relationships within the community and giving back. Definitely recommend it to others!“

“The Compass Pro Bono project introduced me to an organization, and frankly an entire arts scene, that I was completely unaware of. I value the experience that I got working with other professionals from outside my company, with different backgrounds and expertise, to collectively assist this great organization, hopefully to their long-term benefit. I look forward to following Inis Nua and Tiny Dynamite to see where they go from here.“

“The final product was exactly what was requested and what we needed. In addition to providing the information that we asked for, which was to synthesize stakeholder input on our program services, it also created a more engaged dialogue from my board members than we have had at a meeting in a long time. My group is now energized and ready to move on to our next action steps.”

“As a Compass Pro Bono consultant, I was able to make a direct impact on a non-profit beyond just donating funds or attending an event. I was able to support the people of the organization in their desire to provide more services and achieve more fulfillment in their roles.”

“The Compass Pro Bono consulting opportunity is invaluable. Having experts from varied fields take a birds eye view of our organization from their specific discipline and offer ways in which we can enhance our fundraising practices will have a long-term impact on our organization’s operations.”

“The team did an amazing job. They went above and beyond in the depth and preparation of this project. They listened to feedback, were eager to learn, and were deeply interested in ensuring that the finished product would be utilized and effective.”

“Compass Pro Bono not only allowed me to give back to the community but it helped me build long lasting relationships with community organizations that help me further my leadership and development skills.“

“Engaging with Compass allowed us to see our organization from an outsider’s perspective. As a small-but-growing nonprofit, we are grateful that the team was able to analyze our current state and make recommendations for future growth.”

“Compass Pro Bono’s model of engaging professionals across a spectrum of careers to provide nonprofits with high quality strategic direction is as brilliant as it is engaging. The team model ensures that nonprofit leaders, many of whom are strapped for time and resources, receive well balanced input on some of their most pressing needs. The consulting professionals not only share their skills and insights, but learn from the nonprofit leaders and each other, instilling an appreciation across sectors and professions.“

“Participating in a Compass Pro Bono consulting project has been an incredibly rewarding experience, both professionally and personally. Working with Wholesome Riches to develop a strategy for future corporate donors allowed me to leverage my skills in project management and strategic planning for a cause that has a direct impact on our community. The collaboration not only strengthened my ability to adapt and apply business principles in a non-profit context but also deepened my understanding of the unique challenges these organizations face. This experience has enhanced my professional growth by providing a meaningful way to contribute to societal betterment while honing my leadership and consulting abilities.“

“Working with a Compass team on Technology Strategies has been a game changer for our non-profit. We all know to ask questions and listen to people who have expertise in the areas of interest. That’s just what we did. The team had ideas that never dawned on any of us on the staff or Board as to ways to streamline processes to be as efficient as possible. Utilizing technology to enhance the client satisfaction is such a wonderful way for us to continue serving our clients personally but with the edge of new technology implementations to make it easier and quicker.”

“Compass Pro Bono provides an opportunity for you to enhance your soft skills that may be under utilized. The opportunity to work with people from various companies brings about diverstiy of thought when brainstorming. We all remember we are there to help an organization in need that is helping others in the world by the services they provide to the community.“

“This is one of the greatest donations we have ever received! Our team took the time to really understand our organization. They visited and helped out during our busiest times, checked in frequently, and supported us in more ways than we could have hoped. At Neighbors Helping Neighbors on the Main Line, we feel like a stronger nonprofit, thanks to the support of Compass!”

“Compass Pro Bono ties me to the community via pathways I might not have otherwise explored nor even encountered. With these projects, I am able to tie my consulting/business experience to my voluntarism, while practicing and honing a variety of skillsets. The satisfaction of helping those who are helping others is invaluable, and I look forward to serving Philadelphia through Compass on more engagements.“

“Working with Compass will add value to our organization now and in years to come. We were fortunate to have such qualified and intelligent folks to work with and who cared enough to be connected to the mission of Bringing Hope Home. We’re very grateful.”
