Catchafire is an online platform that connects nonprofits with skilled volunteers on everything from retreat planning, membership strategy, graphic design projects, data collection planning, Salesforce training and proposal letter creation. Projects range from one-hour phone calls to projects that take several weeks to complete. You can find a full list of projects that can be completed through Catchafire
here. One great feature of the platform is that nonprofits have the opportunity to choose the volunteer you feel is the best fit for your organization's needs. The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta is giving a select number of nonprofits access to Catchafire for free. All of the Community Foundation's Catchafire slots are currently full. If you would like to be considered for Catchafire in the future, please complete this form and update your
Organizational Profile.
As part of the interest form, organizations will be asked to identify at least
two people from their organization who will serve as the primary contacts for their Catchafire account if the organization is selected. These individuals will receive email updates about the Catchafire platform and webinar opportunities
if the organization is selected to use the platform. (If the organization is not selected, only the request contact will be emailed.) It is recommended that you identify individuals who work in different departments or functions within your organization. Organizations should not use info@ email addresses.
