Pro Bono Support
The Allen + Clarke Pro Bono Programme supports purpose-led, community focused organisations to deliver projects of all sizes and locations across Aotearoa. Each chosen applicant may receive up to 250 hours for their project, which could be used to support the completion of an entire, smaller project or provide pro bono time as part of a large project.
In previous years we have helped recipients tackle a huge range of projects, including; strengthening their operations, maximising funding, understanding industry best practices, assessing current policies and governance structures, preparing for change, and much more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply if I've received pro bono support from Allen + Clarke before?
Applications are open to everyone. All applications are assessed against the current year's criteria regardless of any previous support we may have provided. We have worked with some partners over multiple pro bono rounds, but it would depend on the nature of the project and how it met the criteria.
Can we apply for specific services or does Allen + Clarke determine what support to provide?
The application process asks you to describe the services or issues you are seeking help with. Once we short-list applicants, we have a conversation to get more information about your work and how we could best help you with the time available.
Can you help us with government lobbying?
We have helped organisations in the past with writing position papers and submission responses to help you advocate for your position on an issue.
How do you work with volunteers?
We acknowledge that many NGOs rely on volunteers and that they bring a really important perspective to the work. Our team have a long history of working with volunteers, and can be flexible to meet those needs such as offering flexible scheduling and scalable plans that account for volunteer capacity. We work to build the capacity of your volunteers, leaving your organisation stronger after our direct support concludes.
What does your service design support include?
We can evaluate current services and suggest improvements or design new services to meet user needs. We have staff trained in human centred design thinking who can help you to reimagine your services to ensure they deliver maximum values to the people you serve.
