In their own words: The Impact of of PBPO on its Nonprofit Clients

“PBPO has been an incredible gift to Our Daily Bread and to our entire nonprofit community. We were faced with the daunting task of revising and updating our HR policies, yet no one in our agency had the time or experience to do this. The irony with our outdated policies was that every time an issue came up, it cost us more time (and headaches) resolving the issue than the time that it took to work with PBPO and do it right in the first place. PBPO connected us with [an attorney volunteer] who used his years of experience to set us on the right track in a matter of hours. Now our staff is all on the same page and we can put our time back where it belongs – on our mission!” – Our Daily Bread

“PBPO has been critical in the past year in helping us develop a solid structure on which we can now stand. PBPO allowed us to continue to place funding priority on programming while developing strong policies, procedures and contracts that will help us maintain our quality of services in the future!” – Melodic Connections

“I am truly grateful for the support Pro Bono Partnership of Ohio provides. With the support of your organization we effectively moved CityHeart from a church outreach to a well-established 501(c)(3). We will be able to effectively support our mission and purpose of caring for those who are less fortunate with the confidence that we are legally aligned to best practices.” – CityHeart Corporation (Dayton)
