Seeking to address local needs and amplify the impact of their nonprofit partners, the Hellman Foundation entered into a partnership with Catchafire to provide additional support to their grantees.
Over five years, volunteers on Catchafire have created $1.5 million in nonprofit value, offering needed assistance to nonprofits dedicated to urban green space, health equity, and education.
In response to the recent announcement of a ten-year spend-down agenda, Catchafire's capacity-building resources are even more valuable. The platform serves as an important tool to support grantees, address urgent community needs, and lay down groundwork for long-term sustainability.
The collaborative efforts between the Hellman Foundation and Catchafire underscore a proactive approach to address pressing community issues and create organizational sustainability through a spend-down lens.
This commitment ensures that Bay Area nonprofits will have access to essential resources to thrive and enhance the quality of life in their communities.
