We are pleased to share our 2024 Corporate Pro Bono Challenge® Report: In-House Pro Bono on the Rise, which benchmarks pro bono performance by 42 CPBO Challenge® signatories that provided responses to the annual survey regarding their departments’ pro bono participation in 2023.
The Corporate Pro Bono Challenge initiative serves as an important benchmark for corporate legal departments by measuring and reporting on pro bono participation, and highlighting the capacity of in-house counsel to assist in the delivery of pro bono legal services. We hope that companies of all sizes and across all industries are inspired by this report to join the Corporate Pro Bono Challenge initiative and to participate in delivering much-needed legal services to underserved communities.

The Financial Institution Pro Bono Day (FIPBD®) event brings together volunteer attorneys and legal staff from financial institutions across the country and around the globe to provide pro bono legal assistance to address critical legal needs of underserved communities. Participating financial institutions, often working with legal services organizations and law firm partners, organize and participate in pro bono opportunities of their choice.
