Learn more about how we're transforming the way organizations access professional expertise through our NYS Pro-Bono Credit Exchange platform
New York State faces significant capacity gaps that grant dollars alone can't fix.
56% of registered NYS nonprofits reported no income, signaling thousands of micro and volunteer-run organizations that need skilled help, not just cash.
NY's 2.2 million small businesses employing 3.7 million people lack affordable access to specialized help in legal, digital, finance, and HR areas.
Organizations outside NYC face even greater challenges accessing professional services, creating a statewide need from Queens to the North Country.
New York State has the largest concentration of legal professionals in the nation, with policy structures that encourage and track pro bono work.
The largest pool of legal professionals in the United States, representing massive untapped potential for community service.
New lawyers must complete 50 hours of qualifying pro bono work under Rule 520.16, creating a structured pipeline of professional service.
If NY lawyers delivered the aspirational 50 hours annually, it would generate over $361 million in economic value at $38.48 per volunteer hour.
A two-sided marketplace where credits serve as the unit that aligns supply with need and ensures measurement, quality assurance, and equity.
Nonprofits and small businesses post scoped, outcomes-based projects like "Data dashboard build" or "Bylaws & governance review" with AI-assisted guidance.
Legal, tech, design, finance, and HR professionals commit their expertise through a compliance-grade workflow that meets NYS requirements.
Corporate CSR programs, foundations, and Donor-Advised Funds purchase credits to direct skilled hours to priority communities and fields.
