A Billion + Change is an organization trying to get 500 companies to pledge their employees' time for pro bono projects. So far, more than 340 companies have signed on--including 43 in the D.C. area—to provide almost $2 billion worth of services to deserving nonprofits.
To promote the initiative during National Volunteer Week, A Billion + Change held a summit April 22 on the power of pro bono. Elevation DC attended the event; below is what we learned.
