Volunteer: Prospect Research for Individual Donors and Board Members

This is a volunteer opportunity provided by Taproot Foundation, a nonprofit creating social change through pro bono connections.

We'd like to connect with a skilled volunteer who can help us prioritize a list of prospective individual donors and potential board candidates with short profiles summarizing relevant background, giving/philanthropic indicators, and suggested next steps.

This work will strengthen the Foundation’s fundraising and governance capacity, helping secure funding and leadership to expand access to life‑saving cleft and craniofacial care for infants. Volunteers’ research will directly support program reach, partnerships, and long‑term sustainability. Through this project, your support will allow us to recruit the right team for long-term that would be able to scale our mission and vision and be able to reach successful outcomes in bridging the gap of cleft care. In addition, your support would be a lasting legacy footprint, because we value each volunteer that took on one of our projects to help support our efforts, we believe you deserve the "kudos" too. To show our appreciation for your time and commitment, we are happy to celebrate your contributions that you would make by: (1) Providing an Official Certificate of Appreciation, (2) Official Letter of Acknowledgement and/or Recommendation, (3) Opportunities for leadership roles, (4) Opportunities for long-term collaborative partnership, (5) Social Media Recognition Carousel Post spotlighting your support for the organization, and (6) Participation & Recognition at the organization's annual award gala (if time commitment is more than 60 days of positive project progress and successful project outcomes)

We're ready to discuss priorities, share any existing lists or background materials, and agree on criteria, timelines, and check-in cadence so volunteers can work efficiently and hand off clear findings.
