Project Menu Changes

Over the past few months, we've spoken to lots of our professionals and we've listened to your feedback. Now, we've made it even more manageable to give what you're good at!

Designers - we now require that organizations give you credit in all design projects.
HR Professionals - Our Board Member Search Strategy project no longer involves recruitment or implementation.
- Grant Writers - The organization now has to select and prepare the RFP for their grant.

We have a lot more exciting changes coming soon - so stay tuned! Want to give your skills pro bono? You can start by checking out Catchafire's open projects.
Announcing New Hires! 

We're excited to have announced our new Catchafire team members on our blog! Don't forget to check back often to learn more about Catchafire, success stories, and read about other members. 


We Want To Hear About Your Pro Bono Experience!

Have you completed a project? Let us know, and be featured on our blog as a success story! It's a great way for your Catchafire and your organization to thank you for a job well done, and a fantastic way to get exposure for yourself and the cause you care about.

Email catchus@catchafire.org and tell us your story.
