Pro Dono is a not-for-profit organization arranging one-to-one conversations with famous figures in aid of charity. Ambassadors, as they are called, give a couple of hours of their time to meet a member of the public for a donation to the ambassador’s charity of choice.
Pro Dono has over 100 ambassadors ranging from cricketers to Michelin-starred chefs, politicians to the editor of The Economist, the “godfather” of the hedge fund industry, and founder of Wikipedia.
You can sign up for some face time with your hero and leave it at that, or dial up the experience with back to back power meetings: a tour of Lord’s with Geoffrey Boycott could be followed by a coffee in the Houses of Parliament with Alastair Campbell and a cookery course with Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons.
