9 What We Are Learning 1.Quality pro bono work is about delivering a superior end product that drives results for the nonprofit, rather than using volunteerism to increase morale or as a team-building tool. 2.When we engage with a nonprofit, we should be working to address one of the organization’s top concerns, not low-priority busy-work. When we address a top priority, nonprofits are more likely to recognize pro bono as “currency” with similar sponsorship benefits as cash donations. 3.It is easier to give away $50M in cash donations than to donate $50M of pro bono support. Nonprofit clients have limited capacity to translate business needs to available pro bono skills sets and limited infrastructure to “accept” the help, 4.Formal recognition of pro bono teams (through revenue/utilization credit) ensures the same world class service afforded to our commercial clients. 5. In making the community a $50MDeloitte in essence professionalized pro bono service and empowered pro bono clients to hold our teams accountable for the same level of service as a paid consultant. 9
