Strengthening the nonprofit ecosystem in Palm Beach County

Written by Catchafire | Jun 17, 2024 9:55:06 PM

Thanks to the Palm Beach County (PBC) Collaborative and Catchafire, local organizations are experiencing transformative growth and saving significant resources. With the support of seven incredible funders, we've launched the Palm Beach County Capacity Building Initiative to empower local organizations and create lasting community impact.

About the partnership

The PBC Capacity Building Initiative is made possible by the generous contributions of our dedicated funders:

  • Allegany Franciscan Ministries
  • Children's Services Council of Palm Beach County
  • Community Foundation of Palm Beach and Martin Counties
  • The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation
  • Palm Health Foundation
  • Quantum Foundation
  • United Way of Palm Beach County

Together, these funders have partnered with Catchafire to support nonprofit organizations in the greater Palm Beach County area by connecting them to pro bono consultants wanting to help them with fundraising, HR, and marketing needs.

Nonprofit organizations have access to Catchafire’s innovative virtual platform and programming. These resources leverage a network of more than 100,000 skilled volunteers to help with needs such as website development, strategic planning, professional development, and other areas of critical work.

Impact in Palm Beach County

With the second year of the program underway, this collaboration is a game-changer for the Palm Beach community. The partnership has already made an astounding impact, with over $1.3 million nonprofit value created for over 100 Palm Beach County nonprofits, thanks to the dedication of Catchafire volunteers who have contributed over 7,000 hours of their time. Nonprofits have received support in critical areas such as translation, social media, and finance. Top communities served include children and youth, women and girls, and the local low-income community. 

But the real success story is how local nonprofits are thriving and expanding their capacity through Catchafire. Several of them are developing ongoing relationships with volunteers on the platform, boosting their capacity and technical skills while nonprofit staff focus on serving the local community. 

Thanks to the support of volunteers on Catchafire, these nonprofits are able to optimize their operations and focus their efforts on advancing their mission and direct service work. We look forward to growing the program to support even more nonprofits in the Palm Beach County region.
