Catalyst Philanthropy helps individuals and foundations make informed decisions about their giving. Its support includes clarifying philanthropic priorities, researching the issues a funder cares about, and developing a practical strategy for directing resources.

What can that support include?

Who is this support for?

Catalyst works with individual philanthropists, private foundations with staff, corporate foundations, and groups of funders working together. Its services reflect the funder's context: an individual may need help defining a direction, while a staffed foundation may need additional research or strategy capacity.

Can Catalyst help refine an existing approach?

Yes. Catalyst's website describes support for both people starting their philanthropic journey and funders revisiting an existing approach. For foundations, this can include reviewing previous initiatives and making recommendations for future work.
