    <title>The nGen Works Blog: Pro Bono Publico</title>
    <link>http://www.ngenworks.com/blog/detail/pro_bono_publico/</link>
    <description>We turned pro bono on it&apos;s head by approaching clients before they approach us. The catch of this process is we&apos;re in control of the design while the client controls messaging.</description>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Yay! Someone feels the same way! No research to back it up, but I bet it's a rampant situation throughout america. It kills me that not-for-profits get the .org extension because the last thing they are is organized.

So did you guys decide to just avoid it all together? It seems to ebb an flow for us, we always want to believe the next time will be different.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Great post Carl! I am a little late on reading it, but am glad I finally got it; we were struggling with the same debate here at nclud; to pro bono or to not. It is the falling apart at the end aspect that has us hung up as well. 

We had one client that does the most help with the homeless in Washington, D.C. -- but they do so much for the homeless they just have little to no time to keep the great web work we did for them alive and running. We tried for almost a year to continue to be a resource; but it just got to be to much of a resource drain on us internally; we eventually were able to find a kind-hearted freelancer that was willing to take over and keep things running well. It doesn't look as beautiful as it used to, but at least it is still up and running.]]></content:encoded>
