How to start an internal initiative?

Does anyone have experience with starting an internal initiative (eg social, volunteering, mentorship etc) within your company? I work for a smaller/boutique firm (around 300 consultants in the US) that doesn't have everything planned out and figured it would be a great chance to provide an unmet need, while also raising my profile within the firm.

I figured I would need to first pitch the idea to a partner and get his/her sponsorship on it, but what else needs to be done so that there is the appropriate buy-in? I realize the answer is "it depends on your firm culture", but was wondering if anyone had past experiences they could share.
