Catchafire

We connect nonprofits with skills-based volunteers through an online platform. We partner with funders to give nonprofits coaching, technical assistance, and the skills they need to grow and make an impact. We offer three main solutions: employee volunteering, community impact, and nonprofit capacity building. We provide custom impact reports with real-time data on causes, nonprofit needs, and community impact. We also offer microvolunteering opportunities for immediate solutions.

Our platform has helped create over $326 million in nonprofit value and facilitated more than 1.6 million volunteer hours, supporting over 15,000 nonprofits. We prioritize equity, giving nonprofits free access to our resources regardless of their size, budget, or location. About 61% of nonprofits on our platform have Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) leadership. Our volunteers typically have an average of 16 years of professional experience, and 67% have worked with nonprofits before joining our platform.

We were founded in 2009.

Our mission is to connect people with purpose and build stronger communities.

Our core values are:

• Understanding: Deeply knowing community needs.
• Growth: Continuous improvement and individual agency.
• Equity: Expanding access for the historically underrepresented and underserved.
• Trust: Championing the voices of community leaders.
• Community: Believing that change accelerates through collaboration.

We integrate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles into both our workplace and community engagement efforts.

We have a team of 51-200 employees. We are committed to building an inclusive, empathetic work environment where everyone feels empowered to be themselves. We embrace a remote work culture, offering flexibility to support work-life balance. We foster a connected and inclusive team through initiatives like employee resource groups, book clubs, and happy hours, and we celebrate employee milestones.

Our commitment to DEI extends to our hiring practices. We aim to build a diverse team that represents the communities we partner with and has a nuanced understanding of their characteristics. We strive to create a workplace where everyone has equal access to opportunity and a sense of belonging.

We invest in our team by offering benefits like:

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401k plan
• Generous parental leave
• Professional development stipends
• Unlimited paid time off (PTO)
• Dedicated volunteer time off
