I'd be interested in knowing how a business like hands-on might undertake pro bono work. Even offering free hosting for a site is such a major contribution. You might even pair with a pro bono oriented designer and ensure a quality site for a non-profit in need. So many opportunities! Thanks Conor!

I enjoyed your latest book review, too. While I like to write in general, isn't it nice to write things that help people? I'm getting more and more excited about this series as I continue on!

It actually hits on something that's very close to home (and stuff we've been thinking of at Hands-on for some new marketing angles). I've never liked ProBono, Free Work or "donation" work to an organization that is not a charity and nothing in return. You hit the nail on the head with this article! Nice work! Great post Tom!

Whether it's monetary, a real portfolio or real time experience, something must come back. Always. Or we'll soon find out that we have nothing to give back. Cheesy. I know! And I love it :-) Tom,

You flatter me. With any hope, this series will be a valuable cookbook for people who want to use pro bono to flavor their careers! Aw, shucks, Erin! You flatter me.
