Answering Your Nonmonetary Contributions Questions A. What is the value of the time provided by a graphic artist who volunteers to design a logo for my committee? The artist’s time is not reportable if it constitutes volunteer personal services. But, if the artist is an employee of a business and spends more than 10 percent of their compensated time in a calendar month working on the design, the paid compensation becomes a nonmonetary contribution from the artist’s employer.
B. How do I determine the fair market value of a mailing list provided by another committee?
The most common way for a committee to determine the value is to contact a business from which a similar mailing list may be obtained.
