Yippee!! Taproot project #3 (for me) goes live: new "Volunteer Center" of San Francisco web site is up! http://thevolunteercenter.net/
So Taproot, http://www.taprootfoundation.org/, has expanded into 10 different metros on the past 9 years or so. The "do-it-pro-bono" model has proven the most effective way to create immediate impact and lasting change within the non-profit community of any respective metro.
I couldn't be more proud of the teams that have executed on the Taproot grants. I was fortunate to be part of these crack teams as an account director.
These are the sites that have been taken live by grants executed by Taproot teams I have been part of:

Team is everything!
If I was not working with incredible teams these projects would not have happened. I consider myself "lucky." All I did was put together "pros" who knew what to do and got it done. I wish I could say that I had more to do with the success of the projects...but the reality is that the teams that built these sites did so despite their account director not because of him. :-)
