There's a gap between nonprofits in need of business expertise and MBA graduates who want to contribute in the social impact sector but feel forced to choose traditional, corporate career paths based on financial pressures. The Rootstock Project is designed to bridge this gap.
We're here to help!
After graduating from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, we each pursued careers with Fortune 500 companies. Through our own experiences and those of our classmates and colleagues, we recognized the disconnect between mission-driven MBA graduates and the nonprofit organizations that could most benefit from their expertise. We designed The Rootstock Project to address this need, connecting business school graduates with social impact organizations.
