Catchafire is the largest online pro bono community in the U.S. and now they're coming to Philadelphia. The organization is "looking to connect with local community leaders to understand the volunteer and nonprofit landscape, culture, and major influences in the area as a first step." They will then invite local organizations to become Founding Member organizations.

Hosted by Impact Hub Philly, part-innovation lab, part-business incubator and part-community center, this event is sure to spark a few ideas. Check out this Flying Kite story to here to learn more about Catchafire.
