What we have in place
  • We currently have the existing list of areas to target, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a defined scope of what needs to be accomplished, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help

Executive Director

Online Research Project

Jill is great to work with. A seasoned Catchafire non-profit partner, she knew exactly what she needed and provided the resources to complete the project as well as feedback along the way. Sometimes the simplest projects have the biggest impact and I was happy to help Jill research and database legislative contacts so they can keep their government stakeholders informed of their tax program services.
