Support Greater DC Cares!

Experience greater success in reaching your organization’s goals. Greater DC Cares can help your agency connect with volunteers willing to donate their skills and expertise to build your capacity. These pro-bono consultants help you reach your goals!

Tailored opportunities. We offer two options for obtaining pro-bono consultants: Individual Consulting and Executive Service Corps (business executives).

Individual Consultants
Individuals who have particular experience and skills can help your organization in one or more of the following areas:

• Technology — Web development, network implementation and administration and database creation
• Financial Services — Accounting, financial planning and management, budgeting and bookkeeping
• Marketing: Marketing planning, communications, re-branding campaigns, event management, media and public relations and program evaluation
• Strategic Planning/Organizational Development — Strategic planning, program planning, organizational audits, business plan development, organizational structure, resource allocation and performance tracking
• Fundraising/Development — Development and fundraising planning and grant writing
• Executive Coaching/Mentoring — Overall strategic counseling

Business Executives. Current and retired business executives offer their expertise through our Executive Service Corps program. They can offer you their knowledge and proven problem-solving skills.

Identifying projects. Greater DC Cares works with your nonprofit and the volunteers to identify a specific project, matching their skills and interests with your needs. To be effective, both the nonprofit and the volunteer must invest their time, energy and expertise. Projects typically last three to six months.

How it works. In facilitating a match between a nonprofit and a skilled volunteer, Greater DC Cares:

• Makes the initial connection.
• Helps develop the scope of work and deliverables.
• Provides support throughout the project to make the partnership successful.
• Asks the nonprofit and the volunteer to fill out an evaluation so we can continually improve the program.

Become a partner! To have us match your organization with volunteers who have specific skills, you must be a Greater DC Cares’ nonprofit partner. If you’re not currently a partner, become one today! Sign up NOW for orientation to get the process started!
