Taproot recently released their newly updated Pro Bono Valuation (PBV), a calculation that quantifies the monetary value of an hour of service by a skilled volunteer. The 2024 PBV was valued at $220 per hour, up 18% since the most recent update in 2019.   On August 27 at 1 PM ET, Taproot will host a webinar led by Alex Guiney, Senior Consultant of Advisory Services at Taproot: A Guide to Understanding Taproot’s Pro Bono Valuation to share more about how they calculated their pro bono value, and how it may be beneficial to CSR and other social impact leaders.  There will be time for a Q&A towards the end of the session. ...
