THE PRO BONO
PROCESS SCOPE SECURE MANAGE LinkedIn is designed to help you secure pro bono resources That is, LinkedIn helps you to find the7 Slide talented professionals you need by allowing you to connect Process from: with people already in your network. Slide 7 © Taproot Foundation 2012
8.
BEFORE SECURING PRO
BONO You need to have a clearly defined scope of work − It’s a good best practice to review your scope with a knowledgeable professional to confirm you are on track. − Unclear on what it is you need to begin with? Plan for a longer meeting with a relevant professional – 90 minutes at a minimum. Start with the “pain” you’re feeling and narrow to a specific scope together. − Slide 8 Already have a scope? Ask someone to review – a good bet is a board member with relevant experience. − You can also ask for 30 minutes of “speed pro bono” and get an outside professional’s opinion. You need to have a sense of the kind of skills you are looking for − Get specific! For example, a graphic designer and a market analyst have very different skills, but both might be considered part of the marketing profession. Slide 8 © Taproot Foundation 2012

REVIEW THE STRENGTH
OF MATCHES ► The best volunteers will have the highest social capital – meaning the strongest ties to you or your organization − Look for the number of shared connections – the more the better − 1st and 2nd degree connections are the best bet – that means you know them directly (1st) or they are a “friend of Slide 21 a friend” (2nd) ► Lots of volunteer work usually means a proud and committed volunteer ► Look at their groups and associations. Do you share an alumni connection? See a passion for certain causes? Shared interests are an added bonus. Slide 21 © Taproot Foundation 2012

REVIEW THE STRENGTH
OF MATCHES Slide 22 Slide 22 © Taproot Foundation 2012
23.
WHY DOES SOCIAL
CAPITAL MATTER? It happens on nearly every project – at some point, the work gets hard or other priorities come up. A consultant’s commitment to the project is tested. Social capital is what keeps a pro bono volunteer on- board, even if the project gets hard Examples of social capital Slide 23 − They’ve volunteered with your organization before − They work for your board member, who asked them to take on the project − You are personal friends with them or have mutual friends − They signed up through a matching service and completed an application to participate Choosing a consultant with high social capital at the start ensures you won’t lose them partway through Slide 23 © Taproot Foundation 2012
