THE BERKELEY GROUP

Our mission and passion is to empower nonprofits with the knowledge and tools to maximize their social impact in the community.

Our Mission
The Berkeley Group uses innovative ideas, academic training, and passion to enable nonprofit organizations to achieve their missions and create a better world - one nonprofit at a time. Our values include passion - a shared dedication to our client and social change, professionalism - displayed through quality projects with high professional standards, and initiative - taking individual action and collaborating as an organization.
Our Partners
The Berkeley Group's model draws upon many different partners and sponsors. Our amazing network of resources are what allows us to deliver great impact through our work. We also utilize partnerships with faculty advisors, graduate students, practicing industry professionals, and various nonprofit staff and board members. Furthermore, TBG partners with similar organizations from a number of other college campuses.

TBG could not accomplish our mission without support from our sponsors at the Haas School of Business, the Associated Students of the University of California, and our generous donors. If you are interested in making a donation to The Berkeley Group, please visit our donor page here.

Our History
The Berkeley Group, a pro bono professional consulting organization for Bay Area social sector organizations, was founded in 2003 by four UC Berkeley juniors. The students were inspired by Professor Alan Ross' class, "The Social, Political, and Ethical Environment of Business" (UGBA 107). In addition to filling a need in the local community, they hoped to provide an opportunity for members to grow professionally and personally and form lifelong friendships.

Since our founding, The Berkeley Group has assisted over eighty nonprofit organizations in the Bay Area with business-related issues. Over the course of TBG's history, our consultants have provided recommendations and strategies for a variety of organizations that represent a wide range of needs in the community. Since 2003, TBG is continuously improving and developing, as seen through our rising applicant rates, diversification and growth in project selection, and expansion onto sister campuses.
