Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As the Honorary Chairman of A Billion + Change, a national campaign to mobilize billions of dollars of pro bono and skills-based volunteer services from corporate America by 2013, I’m spearheading an effort to find 500 companies around the country who are willing to take the challenge to bring their best business skills and talents to serve the needs of nonprofits and communities at home and around the world. And I’m writing you today to urge all members of the Professional Services Council to join us in this vital effort.

This initiative is not entirely new to many of you. In his role as both PSC’s President and a member of the board of the Corporation for National and Community Service, which is a key supporter of the initiative, Stan Soloway convened a number of PSC member companies to discuss how they could engage and participate. And last year, PSC, along with Deloitte and the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce hosted a seminar on the benefits—to the community and to the companies—of skills-based volunteering.

This campaign comes at a critical time of significant need in our communities and of increasing demands on our nonprofit colleagues. To meet these challenges, A Billion + Change is inspiring and encouraging businesses to harness their talent and expertise to help nonprofits achieve more with their scarce resources. For these organiza-tions, the value of skilled support in areas such as general operations, marketing, technology and professional services can be 400% greater than the value of traditional volunteering.

Our pledge companies, including your fellow PSC members, have already committed more than $1 billion in skills-based and pro bono volunteer services to date. Our goal now is to build on that momentum by helping companies fulfill their pledge, and encouraging new companies to join the campaign. That’s how we’ll unleash billions in service, talent and expertise to support the work of community-based organizations. Moreover, all of the evidence strongly suggests that for the participating companies, such programs drive greater employee satis-faction and engagement and can be a real discriminator in recruiting talent.

I therefore encourage you and your company to take the A Billion + Change pledge by committing to create or expand pro bono and skills-based volunteering in your workplace. You can learn more about the campaign and how to pledge through the enclosed fliers, at www.abillionpluschange.org or by contacting the campaign’s Executive Director, Jenny Lawson (jlawson@pointsoflight.org). In addition, if you are already engaged in such efforts, please let us know so that we can count you among the scores of leaders in this crusade.

PSC companies who take the pledge will be invited to a special coffee this summer to share your pledge commit-ment and kick-off a regional business gathering in support of A Billion + Change. And all pledge companies are regularly invited to special events that allow you to network with other corporate service leaders, decision-makers and thought leaders around the country as they implement their pledge goals.

You can expect to hear more about A Billion+Change and the work of its corporate leaders in the PSC magazine this spring and summer. In the meantime, I look forward to your joining us as we move forward to make ever greater impacts on the needs of our nation and our community.

I appreciate your thoughtful consideration and prompt action.

Best regards,

Sen. Mark Warner
