Professional expertise. Practical support. Greater nonprofit impact.
AskPro connects nonprofits with pro bono expertise provided by professional skills volunteers, the employees of our corporate and university partners.
We use virtual sessions, so your people can engage remotely at time that suit them.
The opportunity is enormous.
Australian employers provide millions of hours of paid volunteering leave each year, but much of it is never used.
If AskPro helped activate just 1% of this available time as professional skills volunteering, AskPro analysts have calculated it could unlock approximately:
1.8 million
hours of professional support
~950
full-time professionals equivalent
$450 million
in consulting expertise*
That expertise could help thousands of nonprofits solve problems, build capability and amplify their impact.
*Illustrative estimate based on an assumed consulting value of $250 per hour.
What could your people make possible?
Many Australian organisations provide employees with two paid volunteering days each year. When employees use that time to share their professional skills, even a relatively small workforce can create significant value for nonprofits.
