Google Adwords optimization strategy
Friends of Refugees Inc.
We needed help improving the SEO of our website to expand the reach of our message and attract new supporters. A Taproot volunteer came and helped set us up for success. With help from our Taproot volunteer, we began to see more volunteers attending our orientations and more donors finding out about us. We know it's connected to our Taproot project because when we ask people...
Stakeholder research and SWOT analysis
Hand in Hand Parenting
Our team hit the ground running with pro bono by connecting with a volunteer for a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis project. Our volunteer captured the challenges that we’re facing and inspired us to conduct a full strategic planning process so that we’re well equipped to move forward in the coming years.
Leadership training for management retreat
Alcott Center for Mental Health Services
Our Taproot volunteer took the time to put together an engaging leadership training tailored around empowering the Alcott Center for Mental Health Services' management team to provide beneficial performance reviews for their staff members. Every manager that attended the training walked away "on Zoom" feeling more informed! Our partner was a 5-star volunteer!
Copy editing for manuscript
Postcolonial Networks
We needed a volunteer to work on a copyediting project that would keep our publications-in-progress moving forward despite the lack of funding our organization experienced in 2020. Taproot was a lifeline that helped us sustain our mission through lean donor years.
Design of template for event-focused promotional collateral
Playworks
Playworks sought a graphic design expert to create an editable and reusable template to be used at events year round. This reusable template not only increased the organization’s visibility but the volunteer’s work also helped attract donors, improve communication with sponsors, staff, participants, etc.
Financial system setup - Quickbooks
ReBirth Empowerment Education
We connected with a virtual volunteer to set up QuickBooks, which gave us the ability to collect and monitor the right financial data. Working on this project provided us with a better understanding of the program costs and other financial information necessary for making strategic and operating decisions.
