**[BeyondMe](https://beyondme.org/), which brings professionals and businesses together
with charities, has launched its third cohort, named after Daniel Phelan, the late
founder and editor-in-chief of Civil Society Media, who passed away earlier this
year.**

 Fifty professionals from businesses including Allen & Overy, Deloitte, EY and PwC
came together to form the Daniel Phelan cohort. Each one will start their own team
of seven professionals who will donate their time, skills and money together for
a year to one of BeyondMe’s portfolio charities, with matched funding and mentoring
from a senior sponsor in their business.

As well as launching the new cohort, BeyondMe has added a further 36 charities to
its 50-strong portfolio, which will benefit from the expertise and help of the cohort
teams.

Kawika Solidum, chief executive of BeyondMe commented:

> “The BeyondMe movement embodies the millennial generation; we are generous, want
> to give together and want to connect meaningfully with a cause. BeyondMe inspired
> 50 highly motivated millennials to better understand the social sector. Each of
> them will now mobilise six colleagues to form a BeyondMe team and tackle a social
> cause together over the next 12 months.”
