The mission of Stanford ACT is to drive lasting community impact by engaging teams of GSB alumni who apply their expertise and passion to strengthen social benefit organizations.
The Stanford Alumni Consulting Team (ACT) provides strategic pro bono expertise in a wide range of areas. ACT volunteers are Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) alumni at various stages of their careers with expertise in general management, strategy, business and market analysis, financial management, earned revenue, marketing, technology, and more. They are savvy about how organizations function, including the challenges of planning, decision-making, and implementing change.
Stanford GSB is committed to making a lasting, positive change toward eliminating bias and racism beyond our community. To support this goal, ACT will undertake 50 projects by the end of 2025 for organizations that are committed to inclusion and racial equity.
