Collaborative Action

Collaboration that sparks action

From issue-based communities of action to statewide initiatives, at Catalyst, you don’t have to go it alone.

Collaboratives

Catalyst collaboratives bring together members and cross-sector partners around specific issue areas to share knowledge, build skills, and identify shared solutions to major issues impacting our region. Whether engaged in shared learning or pooling resources for grantmaking, these groups explore collective solutions for greater impact.
