GIVE YOUR SKILLS FOR GOOD


Your skills are valuable. Unfortunately, many nonprofits can't pay for
professional services such as copywriting, graphic design, or website
development. This type of work is essential to building operational
effectiveness, but it is often left on the to-do list while the nonprofit
focuses on its critical mission work.

That's where you come in. By volunteering for a project, or even just getting on
a phone call to provide advice, you are giving so much more than your time. You
are supporting organizational growth, which enables nonprofits to have an even
greater social good impact.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

NEW AROUND HERE? START WITH THE BASICS.

What is Catchafire?

Catchafire is an online platform for virtual, skills-based volunteering. Through
Catchafire, professionals are able to directly support causes they care about by
helping nonprofits with projects that match their skill sets. And because
projects can be completed from anywhere, Catchafire makes it possible for
nonprofits and skilled volunteers to connect for good, from all around the
world!

What is skills-based volunteering?

Skills-based volunteering is a high impact form of volunteering that allows
individuals to donate their professional skills and expertise, which in turn
allows a nonprofit to build its capacity and focus more efficiently on its
mission.

Skilled volunteers help nonprofits fill critical knowledge and staffing gaps,
they work as thought partners on strategic projects, and they complete specific
projects that require specialized skills, training, or experience. Very often,
the relationships between volunteers and nonprofits extend far beyond the scope
of the initial project that brought them together.

A specific example of skills-based volunteering is a marketing professional who
volunteers to help a nonprofit create a marketing strategy.

What happens after I submit my application?

The nonprofit will review your application to decide whether they want to move
forward with an interview. If so, you will be contacted by Catchafire to
schedule the call. Nonprofits are encouraged to decide promptly, but there is no
set timeline for when they will reply.

We finished our interview. What happens next?

After the interview, you can log into your account dashboard and ACCEPT or PASS
on the match. Once both parties accept, you are officially matched and can begin
the project. If you need to exchange any materials or have follow-up
conversations to determine if it is a good fit after the interview, you are
encouraged to do so.

Can I volunteer remotely?

Yes! All projects have been designed to allow you to work with the nonprofit
organization remotely.

How much time will volunteering for a project take?

Projects vary in length from 1 to 50 hours, depending on the project type.
Estimated hours are indicated for each project.

Can I apply to more than one project?

Yes! In fact, we recommend you apply to 2-4 projects at any given time. This
will maximize your chances of matching. If you end up being selected for too
many projects, you can always withdraw your application before or after you
interview with the nonprofit. Once you say yes, we ask that you honor your
commitment to work with the organization.

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

Catchafire is working with major foundations throughout the Bay to strengthen
local nonprofit organizations by connecting them with skilled, pro bono
professionals.

Through these connections, we are hoping to build more connected communities and
foster a culture of civic engagement that is an everyday part of life.

If you are interested in getting your community involved please contact
Catchafire.
