Focus AreaThe Catalyst Grant Program is a program designed for organizations seeking smaller grant awards (between $2,500 and $20,000.) The program offers a simpler application process to provide ease of use for smaller or all-volunteer nonprofit organizations. This program is also great for nonprofits with little or no grant experience as feedback is given to organizations even if a request is not funded. Applicants must choose whether to submit a proposal to the Catalyst Program or the Discretionary Program once per calendar year.
