FAQs

What is Catchafire? What can I do here?

Much like a job board, start by posting your need and then receive applications from volunteer experts who want to help. Expect to receive multiple talented applicants, and choose who to work with based on their profiles. For larger projects, you can even interview volunteers before choosing who to work with.

• Engagements range from quick consultations to larger projects.
• Choose from 150+ pre-scoped project templates designed for common nonprofit needs.
• Get support across areas like fundraising, marketing, technology, strategy, and operations.

Who are our volunteers?

Catchafire volunteers are talented professionals looking to support causes and communities they care about by offering their skills. Our volunteers have an average of 16 years of professional experience, and 70% have previous experience in the nonprofit sector. Catchafire volunteers donate their time; you never pay for completed work.

Can I choose who I want to work with?

Yes. On Catchafire, you are in control throughout the application process and choose who you want to work with. When volunteers apply to your project, you review their profiles, interview them, and decide who to work with. We recommend reviewing a volunteer's experience, references, and portfolio before accepting any applicant. If you encounter a suspicious profile or feel unsure about a volunteer, reach out to our team through live chat.

Is this really free? Who is paying for it? How long do I have access?

Through the generous support of your foundation or corporate sponsor, you have been given free, flexible and unlimited access to Catchafire through your program year. If you enjoy using this platform and are getting value from it, please let your funder know. If you are unsure who your sponsor is, check the logo in the top left corner of the navigation bar.
