Pro Bono Projects Completed, Creating Change
Hours Donated, Empowering Organisations’ Missions
Innumerable Lives Touched Through Community Impact
The Allen + Clarke Pro Bono Programme supports purpose-led, community focused organisations to deliver projects of all sizes and locations across Aotearoa. Each chosen applicant may receive up to 250 hours for their project, which could be used to support the completion of an entire, smaller project or provide pro bono time as part of a large project. In previous years we have helped recipients tackle a huge range of projects, including; strengthening their operations, maximising funding, understanding industry best practices, assessing current policies and governance structures, preparing for change, and much more.
1 in 10 of last years’ applicants were selected to receive some level of support as we try and share our expertise across a range of organisations, locations and projects, helping to maximise the impact made on communities. The selected recipients range from smaller organisations that are focussed on a specific group of people in a local community, for example, Wellington Homeless Woman’s Trust, to larger organisations that support a community throughout Aotearoa, for example, Multiple Sclerosis NZ.
All applications reviewed by the panel, are considered against the judging criteria and receive feedback from the panel.
By registering your interest, you will be notified as soon as applications are open. You will also receive a copy of the judging criteria and tips for a successful application.

Our Pro Bono Programme made significant strides for organisations across Aotearoa. We have supported the Downtown Community Ministry in their endeavour to uplift communities, aided the Salvation Army’s street outreach service analysis to further their mission, and contributed to the Ministry of Education’s school transport system, making education more accessible. Our collaboration with Alzheimer’s New Zealand on the development of strategic indicators was a highlight, as was our work on improving sporting participation for young individuals with physical disabilities. The Allen & Clarke team is committed to building on these achievements and broadening our positive impact through future Pro Bono Programmes.
The Wellington Homeless Women’s Trust, a 2022 participant in our Pro Bono Programme, requested a review of the literature on sustainable housing programmes for homeless women, especially those facing chronic homelessness and complex needs.
“Thank you Allen + Clarke. Your offering and you have helped our service move forward immensely and we will always be grateful.” –
