Since 2013, the Taproot Foundation and the BMW Foundation have gathered leaders in the pro bono movement to share challenges and best practices with their peers.  The format and location of the Summit changes each year to meet the diverse needs of participants.

After the successfull summit in Japan in 2023, the Global Pro Bono Summit 2025 will take place in Paris, France from November 24 to November 26, 2025. The Summit attracts CSR and HR leaders, foundations, government officials and pro bono movement leaders from over 30 countries. The Summit challenges pro bono movement leaders to find ways to increase their impact and hold each other accountable for doing and promoting pro bono work that drives social change. This year, the summit is hosted by Probono Lab.

Participants include members of the Global Pro Bono Network who are pro bono providers (“intermediaries”) and belong to the Global Pro Bono Network, as well as leading corporations, foundations, and governments that offer pro bono programs. Participants seek to collaborate with peers and partners, share their knowledge of pro bono and their sector to develop strategies that deliver high-quality, high-impact pro bono services to address larger global challenges. Ideas and themes that emerge over the course of these three days will be turned into actionable commitments for the coming year.
