About Professionals For Impact (PFI)
Professionals For Impact (PFI) is a recruiting and hiring support service dedicated to social impact fields, including climate change and global health. We connect professionals who want to create impact with organizations committed to solving social challenges.
PFI designs matching not only around impact agendas, but also around professional skills such as finance and accounting, legal, HR, communications, business development, project management, and data/AI. By clarifying both where and how professionals can contribute, we create better, more sustainable matches.
Purpose
