Getting started with pro bono can be tough—we get it!
Sometimes the hardest part is knowing what support to ask for. That's why we've created a set of Projects and Session templates based on commonly requested areas of support. These templates are designed to help you articulate your needs, move forward with clarity and confidence, and make good use of available Taproot volunteer skill sets.
Where to Find Templates
When you begin creating a Project or Session request, you'll see a dropdown menu of templates to choose from. Selecting one will autofill the request form with suggested language and structure.
How to Use Templates Effectively
Think of templates as a launchpad, not a final draft. They're meant to spark ideas and give you a framework, but your organization's needs are unique, and your request should reflect that.
Here's what we recommend:
Read through the template carefully.
Edit the content to reflect your specific goals, context, and voice.
Make it yours! The more tailored your request, the stronger the potential volunteer match.
Need Something More Custom?
If none of the templates quite fit, don't worry—you've got options. Try using our AI scoping support directly in the request form. It's designed to help you describe your needs in real time, even if you're not sure where to start.
