So how can you leverage that number to quantify the value of your corporate pro bono program, show in-kind impact in your nonprofit budget, or calculate your own contribution as a skilled volunteer? Check out our August 27 webinar, "A Guide to Understanding Taproot's Pro Bono Valuation" to get all the answers about utilizing this powerful tool.
