CFPs Providing Pro Bono Services Set to Increase by 10%, CFP Board Says

In February, CFP Board said that it hired a full-time pro bono manager who, in collaboration with FFP, “works to engage more CFPs in pro bono service, including through the promotion of FFP’s national programs for people with cancer and at-risk seniors.”

The pro bono manager also helps drive CFP professionals to ProBonoPlannerMatch.org, FFP’s volunteer matching platform, “where CFP professionals can browse and sign up for a range of pro bono opportunities posted by nonprofits around the country,” the groups said.

FFP also offers complementary Errors & Omissions liability insurance coverage to all CFPs who volunteer through the ProBonoPlannerMatch.org platform.

Jon Dauphiné, FFP’s CEO, added in the statement that FFP “works every day to educate nonprofits across the country about the incredible value CFP professionals can bring to their underserved constituents, providing resources on how nonprofits can integrate CFP professional volunteers into their programs. We’re excited to work with CFP Board to grow these efforts until every CFP professional is aware of the powerful impact they can make through pro bono service.”
