The Catalyst Fund enables organizations which connect underserved youth with outdoor experiences within or near their communities.
This round of funding is only open to organizations whose annual operating budget is less than $250,000. If the organization has an annual operating budget of more than $250,000, may not apply to the Catalyst Fund; the candidate are eligible to apply to the Impact Fund.
A qualified organization is defined as one which has few full-time staff persons or equivalent; has an annual budget, including projects, of less than $250,000. Organizations must identify a significant need related to access to outdoor experiences, describe why that need is a priority for the community, develop a clear plan for translating that need into action, and demonstrate an ability to account for the expenditure of funds. Though the Foundation for Youth Investment favors proposals from established organizations, applicants in this round will not be required to have been in operation for at least one year.
