Let’s advance pro bono, together


We’re building what’s next for pro bono, until every nonprofit can rely on it. We’re looking for leading innovators and capacity builders to join us—and turn bold ideas into action at scale.

IGNITE

Nov 4-5, 2026 • New York City

The annual IGNITE Summit is where the future of pro bono gets built. Two days, one goal: multiply what pro bono can do so every nonprofit can count on it.

Three speakers on stage at the IGNITE summit. Each is in a chair. The middle speaker holds the microphone and is speaking to the crowd.

Innovation studio


Taproot helped pioneer modern pro bono service 25 years ago. Our Innovation Studio is where we’re building what comes next.


We combine deep expertise in pro bono with unparalleled reach across nonprofits and skilled professionals to take on questions the field hasn’t answered yet. Through real-world programs and partnerships, we test new ways to create greater value on both sides of the pro bono marketplace—and strengthen the infrastructure that connects them. What works becomes part of Taproot’s DNA or gets shared with the field—turning what we learn into greater impact and scale.


Have a challenge, idea, or opportunity we should explore together? Let’s talk.
