Become a Nonprofit Partner

The talent management challenges facing nonprofits today are not unlike those faced by for-profit businesses: You want to attract skilled individuals driven by the mission of your organization. But in the social impact sector, budget constraints and a lack of on-campus recruiting presence makes it difficult to hire employees with MBA talent and expertise.

The Rootstock Project wants to partner with you to bridge this gap.

Increasingly, MBA graduates value working for organizations they feel align with their values. But they have their own financial challenges, and often make career decisions based on compensation rather than desired social impact. By enabling equal access to high-caliber candidates with advanced business degrees, Rootstock can help your nonprofit bridge this gap and amplify the impact of your organization.

Through our partnership, we can:

  • Define the capacity-building role needed for your organization, to be filled by a Rootstock Fellow.

  • Co-recruit MBA students — from candidate selection through interviews and job offer — through on-campus recruiting, with Rootstock managing the administrative process of each academic institution.

  • Co-invest in the Fellow's competitive salary for two years.

  • Measure the impact of each Fellow's specific role with an eye on sustainable capacity-building.

  • Engage in the Fellow's professional development to foster a long-term commitment to social impact.

We'd love to learn more about your organization and discuss how The Rootstock Project can help your nonprofit acquire mission-driven MBA graduates with business expertise. Please complete the form below or click here to send us an email.
