logic of sentence

Strategic pro bono organizations, in turn, tend to be independent nonprofit groups that have a substantive mandate to pursue a specified advocacy agenda, such as federal legal services organizations or traditional public interest groups. These organizations have staff attorneys who pursue case representation, leveraging pro bono resources pragmatically to support their advocacy work. This is distinct from the referral organizations, which have as their primary mission the promotion of pro bono volunteerism.
