Nonprofits Missing Out on Pro Bono, Volunteer Opportunities
(New York, NY)- Nonprofits and corporations are overlooking an  
opportunity to leverage pro bono and skilled volunteer support to

nonprofit executives said that, despite the recession, they will spend  
between $50,000 and $250,000 or more on outside contractors and  
consultants this year, while 24 percent said they have no plans to use  
skilled volunteers or pro bono support in any capacity.
