Pro Bono as Currency: Deloitte Survey Finds Nonprofits and Corporations Missing Opportunity to Offset Decline in Giving Dollars

Significant Barriers Cited
The slow adoption of skilled volunteer services could be due in part to a startling lack of knowledge among nonprofits when it comes to securing pro bono projects. Nearly all nonprofits surveyed (97%) do not know who in a company to approach with pro bono requests. Likewise, 95 percent do not know which companies to appeal to with these requests. This lack of familiarity with ways to secure pro bono services could also be driven by the fact that half (50%) of corporations nationwide do not offer skilled volunteer support, despite a belief in its value.
