CECP’s Valuation Guide defines all terms used in the CGS Survey to ensure consistent reporting across participating companies. This is a useful tool for CECP survey participants and nonparticipants alike. The in-depth research that provided the foundation of the Valuation Guide has helped create a common language around what is included, excluded, dollar valuation of in-kind goods and services, and more.

The Valuation Guide is divided into the following sections:

• Valuation
a. What to Include and Exclude
b. Valuing Non-Cash Contributions
c. Defining and Valuing Pro-Bono Service
d. Motivations for Giving
e. Program Areas
• Survey Logistics
• Question-Specific Instructions for Survey Completion
