About Catchafire

Catchafire matches professionals who want to volunteer their skills with nonprofits and social enterprises that need their help. They match volunteers and organizations based on a variety of characteristics including skills, cause interests, and time availability.

The B Corp status aligns with our company values to have transparent and comprehensive performance standards that are socially responsible. We want to walk the talk and support the B Corp movement to make companies accountable to environmental, social and employee best practices.

They help organizations identify their needs as short-term, discrete, and individual-based projects. Their projects are structured in this way to make it easy for professionals to find time to volunteer in the midst of their busy daily lives. They charge nonprofits and social enterprises less than 5% of the cost that they would normally pay for the professional services our volunteers provide. Their service is free for all professionals willing to donate their time. They also help corporations offer their skills-based volunteer opportunities for their employees.

The Change We Seek®

Catchafire's mission is to improve the quality of the volunteer experience by providing the opportunity for people to volunteer their skills in a powerful way. Their vision is to make it easy for every professional to volunteer their skills if they want to and to make it easy for every nonprofit and social enterprise to access and effectively use skills-based volunteers.

They believe in providing efficient, effective, and meaningful volunteer experiences for both volunteers and the organizations with whom they work. They believe that a good volunteer experience can transform someone's life, and they also know that a bad one can turn someone away from giving their time forever.
