Challenges to funding and staffing have become all too commonplace in nonprofits. Now, with system-wide cuts at the federal level, leaders are facing an unprecedented disruption. Take action and go beyond the grant check.

We've opened up a set of webinars and stress-reduction support to help leaders navigate this challenging period. Please encourage your friends and colleagues in the social good sector to sign up.

🚀 We tried Catchafire ourselves - and WOW! As a foundation, we've connected 160+ Richmond nonprofits with Catchafire volunteers. But this year, we decided to experience it firsthand. ✨ Our results: ▪️8 volunteers applied within a week - incredible talent pool ▪️Our chosen volunteer, Ivana, transformed our website usability ($5,655 value!) ▪️Sarina, our second volunteer, taught our team data visualization skills ($4,000+ value!) From detailed UX recommendations to hands-on learning sessions, we got professional expertise that would've cost thousands. Now we understand why our grantees love this platform!

I recently completed an annual report for Blue Sky Minds, a nonprofit that advocates for 'an equitable, sustainable, and thriving food system for Okanogan County and Colville Reservation.' This project was part of my ongoing work to support organizations making the world a better place. If you're looking for ways to put your skills to work 'for the greater good,' I recommend checking out Catchafire. Sponsored by Patagonia, this platform matches nonprofits with skilled professionals in all fields—not just design. I've been using the platform for several years and have consistently found it rewarding. This is the kind of work that feeds my soul. If you're curious about volunteering your professional skills, feel free to ask me about my experiences. Always happy to answer questions! #probono #volunteer #SocialGood
