Together, we can demonstrate a better way.
Of the over 300 organizations within the Catalyst Community, Stand Together Foundation has made significant investments in 10–30 select organizations believed to have the potential to disrupt the social sector. We rigorously vet Catalysts against our criteria to scale the most promising solutions. These investments involve multi-year financial and human capital resources to scale solutions that have the potential to change the way our country approaches poverty.
What sets our investment strategy apart, in the words of our philanthropists:
A Better Way to Break the Cycle of Poverty
Our nonprofit partners provide an unrivaled opportunity to turn your investment into measurable change.
Today, people are turning to solutions that treat people like they are broken and deficient, trying and failing to solve poverty through top-down solutions. We offer a model for the country on how to solve problems by believing in people, empowering them, and uniting with anyone to do right.
