Catchafire is powered by people. For Pride Month, we are highlighting the strength of the LGBTQ+ nonprofits we partner with and their impact. Our community is all inclusive - these are the voices and local leaders that power us.
This Pride Month, be proud of what you stand for and all that you have done for your community. Show your love and support to those in the LGBTQ+ community and volunteer. Whether it's your first time using Catchafire or your twentieth, every project supported creates an instant, tangible impact. Do something today that makes a difference and makes you proud.

When you sign up to volunteer, you can filter your search to see open projects and partner organizations specifically supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
Here are ways that volunteers on Catchafire are already donating their time and talent to LGBTQ+ supporting nonprofits, and some ways that you can support this June and beyond.

Embrace Austin is a coalition of LGBTQIA2+ individuals, organizations and businesses in Austin. They aim to build bridges between queer people and initiatives, boost Austin's queer economy, and set a new standard for cultural competency for LGBTQIA2+ Austin. Embrace Austin does this through hosting collaborative events, providing community-building opportunities, and leading with multiply-marginalized, intergenerational LGBTQIA2+ people.
Harrison H., a Certified Public Accountant specializing in nonprofit accounting, helped Embrace Austin set up an accounting system to support their budgeting and reporting needs.
