Alumni Consulting Team for Nonprofits

The Stanford Alumni Consulting Team provides pro bono consulting expertise in a wide range of areas, including strategic planning, marketing, earned revenue, financial sustainability, and organizational growth.

We have alumni with expertise across sectors, functions, and geographies, and customize our projects to the specific needs of each client organization.

Stanford GSB is committed to making 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.

Impact over Time

Created by Stanford GSB alumni in 1987, ACT has grown to be one of the largest pro bono resource providers in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Nonprofit Clients

ACT clients range from small community-based nonprofits to university and hospital departments to government agencies and programs.

We tailor each consulting project to fit the size and resources of the client organization, sometimes providing a single consultant and other times a team of up to eight.
