We have an exciting announcement!

Over the last 7 years, EIA has worked with more than 270 nonprofits, impacting the community with the value of $5.3M in pro bono consulting. We've continued to receive volumes of nonprofit and volunteer requests that could not be met. EIA has now partnered with the innovative Catchafire to scale the number of volunteers and nonprofits that can be matched. Powered by a revolutionary technology, North Texas nonprofits now have the opportunity to engage professionals to help them accomplish everything their organization needs through a volunteer base devoted to meeting their mission and expanding their impact.

Catchafire is the largest, online skills-based volunteer platform, providing social mission organizations with support in marketing and communications, web development, operations, strategy and more. With a community of over 40,000 talented professionals, Catchafire's platform has the power to recreate the way we give and how we change the world. We will be continuing our mission with them going forward, as well as merging our Social Media with theirs. Please join us at and https://www.facebook.com/Catchafire.org/ to stay informed about the amazing work that EIA and Catchafire are doing together!
