Why nonprofits trust Catchafire

Prevents burnout

Sometimes the internal workarounds to fill gaps end up being more energetically expensive. At the end of the day, there are tasks that a skilled volunteer can be doing so nonprofit staff stay focused on areas where the organization is relying on them to be the subject matter expert. 

Technology and operating upgrades

Streamline operations, improve fundraising outcomes, and scale community programs with pro bono experts who know the latest software to use. 

Professional development

Working alongside experts is a win-win. Work gets done and nonprofits get personalized coaching that can span upskilling to essential soft skills such as communication, conflict resolution, decision-making, and team-building.

“I realize now that I would rather take Catchafire over a grant. The projects that I have gotten done have resulted in much more value in comparison to that grant.”
