Appreciating the fact that we could not exist without a thriving community, we want to actively support it. We do this in a variety of ways including volunteering with various non-profit organizations, serving on boards, and shopping locally. And as one additional way to build community by helping local organizations thrive, we donate 40 hours of pro bono consulting once every quarter. We choose the project in which our work will provide the greatest benefit, through the recipient organization, to our local community. This project should take no more than 3 months.
Because people and organizations tend to value something in direct proportion to its cost, we seek assurance that the recipient organization will treat the project as a full-cost consulting engagement. We require the recipient organization to support the project with their time and attention, with the expectation that they will put more time and effort into the project than we will. We also require that the recipient organization provide any necessary additional resources and that they reimburse us for any out-of-area travel expenses.
Applications are due no later than 5 p.m. June 30. After reviewing applications, we will interview 2-3 finalists and make our final selection. An organization can submit one application each quarter.
