Pro Bono service has been a cornerstone of corporate volunteerism for decades. As the kids would say, it’s the “OG” of skills based volunteerism.

This is reinforced with data collected from over 250 leading corporations through CECP’s Giving in Numbers (GIN) research, the unrivaled leader in benchmarking on corporate social investments.
