Call for Pro Bono Projects – Collective Week 2025!

Each year, our team has dedicated one week to working together on pro bono projects. This year is particularly exciting, because it will mark the first Collective Week (CW) for many new colleagues joining us after our recent acquisition of Clever Franke.

Keep reading to learn how your organisation can apply to be considered for a pro bono project during the January 2025 CW.

What is the Collective Week?

At ADC, using data & AI to make a positive impact is at the core of our organisation. Together, we strive for 100% projects that matter and prioritise clients who make the world a better place. While we often use our expertise to create value that can be monetised, we also understand the importance of supporting companies that make a positive impact in ways that cannot yet be expressed in monetary terms. That is why we are dedicating one week per year to pro bono projects.

Our teams in The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and the USA have helped organisations achieve their goals faster by identifying, co-creating, and implementing data & AI solutions. We create initiatives that enable organisations to anticipate change and help shape a positive future. This January, we want to work together on a project to help your non-profit organisation increase its data-driven impact.

What can you expect?

For one week, our entire Collective of experienced Strategists, Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Design Experts, and Support will work together to help you transform your idea into a concrete goal and work towards a proof of concept. And the best part? We will do it all for free!

You can read more about previous pro-bono projects we have worked on here and here.

What is the timeline?

-November: We will reach out by phone or email if we need more information
-December: We will contact the selected projects and begin preparing the data to transform your idea into a concrete goal
-January: Enjoy our team working remotely for YOU from January 21^st to January 24^th
