Legacy note
Catalyst CIC closed in March 2026. This page is now part of a static archive of our work between 2019–2026.
The Catalyst network made incredible contributions to the UK not-for-profit sector. Here you can see all our projects between 2021-24, including some that overlapped with our 2024 transition into a CIC with a tech justice vision.
Past funders include Esmeé Fairbairn Foundation, Comic Relief, City Bridge Foundation, Department for Media, Culture and Sport, Paul Hamlyn Foundation and The National Lottery Community Fund.
