As we approach the anniversary of September 11, how will you observe the 9/11 National Day of Service? More than 35 million people observed this day last year by helping others, and this year we can inspire even more good by leveraging the full power of pro bono. On July 31, A Billion + Change and our partner at the 9/11 Day of Service held a webinar to share high-impact ways you can engage your employees and give back to nonprofits through pro bono "Done-in-a-Day" marathon sessions.

community. Small teams of seasoned Citi professionals are matched to pre-selected nonprofit organizations to complete a specific time-bound task.

• To date, 5 marathon events have taken place across the U.S.

• Marathon events are linked to a specific theme (e.g. women, veterans, sustainability)

• “Tasks” align with our community partners’ needs & our core competencies: financial modeling, cost analysis, succession planning, etc.

• Program results in concrete deliverables at the end of a single day (e.g. excel file/financial model, PowerPoint presentation/strategy, tagline options)

Impact

“I was able to pull from on-the-job [banking] experiences to provide them with the tools needed to create scale to a pilot program.” - Citi Employee

Key Takeaways

• One-day pro-bono model is a great fit for our

organizational structure and aligns to our

‘more than philanthropy’ approach

• Third-party (Taproot) brought invaluable

expertise, particularly in the process of

screening nonprofits for participation

readiness and designing “right-sized” tasks

• Matching skills required by non-profit to

capacity of employees is critical ; don’t be

afraid to say “thanks, but no thanks”

• Model requires precise planning and

logistics – there is no ‘room’ for errors

• Getting the balance right between too much

or too little pre-event preparation is

challenging

• Importance of starting small but planning big

– piloted in the US yet designed for global

marketplace; currently working on

international expansion for Q4 2013

What we have learned

• Partnerships – sourcing partners and

understanding their needs

• Employee Appetite – degree of interest in pro-

bono activity & determining frequency

• Preparation – advance materials and briefing;

scoping the right tasks

• Senior Champion– bringing credibility and

supporting recruitment process

• Impact Measurement – survey tools

• Communication – pre, during and post

Things to consider
