GLG\u2019s award-winning pro-bono efforts have already helped 150+ organizations focused on pandemic relief and racial equity this year<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York, New York; October 5, 2020<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 GLG<\/a> today announced its 2020 class of GLG Social Impact Fellows, leaders of nine organizations at the frontlines of the response to COVID-19 and the fight for racial equity. Since March 2020, GLG has provided more than $2M of pro bono services to over 150 organizations reaching more than 100M people.<\/p>\n

GLG is the world\u2019s knowledge marketplace, connecting decision makers to insights from front-line experts so they can act with the confidence that comes from true clarity. GLG\u2019s network of experts is the world\u2019s largest, with thousands of new experts recruited every week.<\/p>\n

GLG Social Impact<\/a> brings the company\u2019s model and resources to some of the world\u2019s most innovative social entrepreneurs trying to solve its most urgent challenges. The Social Impact Fellowship provides a select group of social sector leaders with pro bono access to GLG\u2019s platform and the ability to work with hands-on GLG client service teams in an intensive, multi-year partnership, with access to the full suite of GLG product offerings.<\/p>\n

Many of this year\u2019s Fellows came to GLG after its CEO Paul Todd published an open letter<\/a> asking for referrals of organizations working on COVID-19 relief, offering GLG\u2019s services free of charge \u2013 an offer which was then broadened to include organizations fighting for racial equity. Year to date, GLG has contributed more than $2M of in-kind services to over 150 organizations working on these issues, reaching more than 100M people in 43 countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s challenges have made clear to us that we must do even more for the world,\u201d said Todd. \u201cAt GLG, we leveraged our deep investment in Social Impact to mobilize quickly and offer unprecedented levels of support to nonprofits working on COVID-19 and racial equity. Focusing our 2020 Fellowship on these areas was a natural next step to deepen our impact. I\u2019m proud to welcome these leaders to our community, and to continue supporting this critical work.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2020 GLG Social Impact Fellows and their organizations are each addressing COVID-19 relief and\/or racial equity in unique ways. They are:<\/p>\n
