At Archstone Foundation, we are committed to fostering the health and well-being of all older Californians and their caregivers by ensuring they have the resources and support they need to live and age well. One way we achieve this is by strengthening those organizations dedicated to serving the people we care most about.
All too often, nonprofits work tirelessly to fulfill their missions with limited staff and modest budgets, which don’t leave them with adequate time or resources to focus on building their own capacity or infrastructure to serve their communities more efficiently and effectively. That is why we have committed to meeting these organizational needs. Given that we receive many more requests for capacity building grants than we can fund directly, we sought a solution to address this critical gap in resources for aging services organizations.
Enter Catchafire, a game-changing way to provide nonprofits pro bono expertise from skilled professionals.
