Catalysts are on a journey of learning and self-discovery.
During the Catalyst Program, a small group of high-impact nonprofit leaders are coached in Principle Based Management™ (formerly Market-Based Management®), a proven business management philosophy and framework Charles Koch credits with making Koch Industries one of the most successful companies in the world. We also work together to find innovative ways to tell your story and measure the impact you’re making, every day.

The program will help accelerate your organization’s momentum, deepen impact, expand reach, and ultimately help transform more lives.

Here’s what you can expect throughout the Program.
The end of the program is just the beginning.
Dynamic social entrepreneurs deserve a community of their own, so at the end of the six-month Catalyst Program, participants become fully integrated into the broader Catalyst Community. As a member of this selective group of high-impact nonprofit leaders, Catalysts maintain access to each other, one-on-one coaching, marketing and communications assistance, measurement and evaluation tools, and the full breadth of programs, products, and services available within the broader Stand Together community.
Benefits of the Community
Dynamic community
One of the most significant benefits of being a part of the Catalyst Community is the connection to a diverse and dynamic network of social entrepreneurs and business leaders. Opportunities for social entrepreneurs to brainstorm, collaborate, share ideas and solutions abound. Catalysts learn from each other, grow together, and regularly engage to better serve their communities.
Community-wide activations
We routinely mobilize the broader Stand Together philanthropic community, a network of more than 700 business leaders around the U.S., founded by Charles Koch, in unified responses to current events. Catalysts are able to leverage this national platform to market their organizations, amplify their reach and expose their work to new audiences.
Individualized support
Stand Together Foundation walks alongside our partners as they address challenges unique to their organizations and communities. We do this through continued Principle Based Management coaching and storytelling and marketing support.
Strategic financial investment
Stand Together Foundation makes strategic financial and human capital investments to select Catalyst organizations that have proven viability to disrupt the way society tackles interconnected drivers of poverty.
