We do this by signing a pro-bono agreement, and by dedicating a project manager to the initiative. Unfortunately, many practiconers fail to treat a pro-bono project the same as their paid endeavors. In doing so, they fail to clearly showcase the value of their time and work. Here\u2019s <a class=\"link link--blue fontWeight-4\"href=\"http:\/\/givehalf.co\/ourvoice\/debunking-the-myths-of-pro-bono-by-matthew-manos\/\">an excerpt<\/a> from my book, <em>How to Give Half osf Your Work Away for Free<\/em>, where I talk about \u201cvalue\u201d:<\/p>\n<p class=\"pageWrap pageWrap--s marginBottom-m paddingBottom-s c-slate lineHeight-l fontSize-l fontWeight-3 breakPointM-fontSize-xl breakPointM-lineHeight-xl\"><span class=\"long-quote\">It is assumed that when something is given away for free, it loses value. This assumption comes from a collective understanding that when something is free, there is no exchange of value. This pre-conceived understanding is rooted in the thought that \u201cvalue\u201d and \u201cmoney\u201d are one in the same, but they are not. In fact, \u201cmonetary value\u201d is just one of many types of value. For a business, value can come in many forms, but most commonly, value can be bucketed into the following give and take dichotomies:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"pageWrap pageWrap--s marginBottom-m paddingBottom-s c-slate lineHeight-l fontSize-l fontWeight-3 breakPointM-fontSize-xl breakPointM-lineHeight-xl\">a. Value Monetary Exchange<br \/>\nb. Value Networking and Contact Development<br \/>\nc. Value Expansion of a Business\u2019 Capabilities<br \/>\nd. Value Marketing and Public Awareness<\/p>\n<p class=\"pageWrap pageWrap--s marginBottom-m paddingBottom-s c-slate lineHeight-l fontSize-l fontWeight-3 breakPointM-fontSize-xl breakPointM-lineHeight-xl\">As a rule of thumb, a service-provider should remain weary of a project that does not at least offer 3 of the above 4 values in return for the success of their project. A paid project that has an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) attached to it, for example, will result in monetary exchange, networking and contact development, and an expansion of business capabilities. A pro-bono project, as an additional example, will result in networking and contact development, expansion of business capabilities, as well as marketing and public awareness.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"pageWrap pageWrap--s marginTop-l marginBottom-m c-black lineHeight-xl fontSize-xl fontWeight-5\">Get Involved<\/h3>\n<p class=\"pageWrap pageWrap--s marginBottom-m paddingBottom-s c-slate lineHeight-l fontSize-l fontWeight-3 breakPointM-fontSize-xl breakPointM-lineHeight-xl\">If you are a designer looking to get involved with verynice, send us an email (<a class=\"link link--blue fontWeight-4\"href=\"mailto:info@verynice.co\">info@verynice.co<\/a>), and our team will follow up with you to learn more about your work, and welcome you to our network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pageWrap pageWrap--s marginBottom-m paddingBottom-s c-slate lineHeight-l fontSize-l fontWeight-3 breakPointM-fontSize-xl breakPointM-lineHeight-xl\"><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"pageWrap pageWrap--s marginTop-xl marginBottom-l c-black fontWeight-5 lineHeight-xxl fontSize-xxl breakPointM-lineHeight-xxxl breakPointM-fontSize-xxxl\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\">Sam Applebee of Super Global<\/h1>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0; text-align: center; margin: 0 auto;\">\n<div id=\"attachment_6285\" style=\"width: 190px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a class=\"link link--blue fontWeight-4\"href=\"https:\/\/marvel7077.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/0k3fvfW8_400x400.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6285\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-10729\" src=\"https:\/\/marvel7077.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/0k3fvfW8_400x400-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"0k3fvfw8_400x400\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marvelapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/0k3fvfW8_400x400-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marvelapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/0k3fvfW8_400x400-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/marvelapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/0k3fvfW8_400x400-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/marvelapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/0k3fvfW8_400x400-64x64.jpg 64w, https:\/\/marvelapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/0k3fvfW8_400x400-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/marvelapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/0k3fvfW8_400x400-128x128.jpg 128w, https:\/\/marvelapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/0k3fvfW8_400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6285\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a class=\"link link--blue fontWeight-4\"href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sam_Applebee\">Sam Applebee<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"pageWrap pageWrap--s marginTop-l marginBottom-m c-black lineHeight-xl fontSize-xl fontWeight-5\">What is <a class=\"link link--blue fontWeight-4\"href=\"http:\/\/super.global\">Super\u00a0Global<\/a>?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"pageWrap pageWrap--s marginBottom-m paddingBottom-s c-slate lineHeight-l fontSize-l fontWeight-3 breakPointM-fontSize-xl breakPointM-lineHeight-xl\">We\u2019re a global community that connects social problem solvers with expert creative and tech agencies.

A) in case we do something stupid and crash. B) In case someone else does something stupid and we get hurt. If you haven\u2019t worked with a social organisation before, doing it pro-bono is like learning to ride a bike without a helmet on. Even professional cyclists are extra careful when they\u2019re not wearing a helmet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pageWrap pageWrap--s marginBottom-m paddingBottom-s c-slate lineHeight-l fontSize-l fontWeight-3 breakPointM-fontSize-xl breakPointM-lineHeight-xl\">Unless the agency has experience working with a social organisation pro bono, and the client has experience working on technology projects, then they\u2019re going to have to learn to work together.

I\u2019m sure these people meant well, but life gets in the way and charities can end up with unusable websites.

It helped me get ahead and practice my craft. And I would recommend it to people who want to get ahead in their career. But a polite warning to make sure you don\u2019t leave those charities in the lurch. Try and follow a project through to the end and treat it professionally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pageWrap pageWrap--s marginBottom-m paddingBottom-s c-slate lineHeight-l fontSize-l fontWeight-3 breakPointM-fontSize-xl breakPointM-lineHeight-xl\">I\u2019ve also been on the receiving end of working with volunteers and 70% of the time the work is useless to me, because it\u2019ll be low standard, half finished, finished too late or the relationship was too high maintenance for me to maintain. So please try not to be a burden on whoever you\u2019re volunteering for.

This isn\u2019t a magic sandbox where you get to play around those ideas your other clients have been averse to. If you\u2019re providing pro bono work for a beyond profit their needs must come first. And be honest; if you can\u2019t do the work or you think you might have trouble delivering within a reasonable timeframe, you must say so.
