Penn and Wharton alumni in the NYC and Philly areas are harnessing their valuable consulting skills for the greater good through PennPAC. Through the organization, non-profits that can’t afford traditional consulting services can receive Ivy League pro bono support. Teams of Penn and Wharton alumni across all majors, careers, and fields of study team up on projects. Grads run the show too, including founder Jackie Einstein Astrof C93 and vice chairs Anne Turner WG94 and Jeannette Chang W08.
As always with Wharton projects, the numbers bear out the success. Since it launched in 2010, 300+ volunteers have logged over 10,000 hours of service worth more than $2 million. Anecdotes pour in from clients, too, about 50 percent increases in fundraising, or 31 percent higher revenues, or growth into a new community—all thanks to alumni’s assistance.
