CATALYZING PHILANTHROPY THROUGH COLLABORATION AND GENEROSITY

Collaborosity supports small and startup nonprofits working to restore dignity to individuals and build thriving communities.

We are the philanthropic arm of Catalytik Group, an investment firm engaging with global entrepreneurs to build thriving companies.

Collaborosity has an invitation-only application process and does not accept unsolicited letters of inquiry or proposals.

WE AIM TO BE

We believe philanthropy can be a creative and collaborative process. We enthusiastically bring our own experiences and expertise to provide coaching, project-based consulting, and introductions to thought partners within our own networks.

We aim to elevate the work of partner organizations and illuminate the strengths of our leaders, to the world and themselves. We work to ask questions and offer support by way of conversation and providing tools or resources that might be helpful to their growth.

We know our partners take on hard challenges and not every day is a good day. Nonprofit leaders need funders that can also provide encouragement, humor, and a safe place to reflect and be frank about their challenges.

We believe that, if funders seek out leaders that are thoughtful, reflective, and adaptive, we must host an environment that allows for leaders to pivot as things change. As funders, we offer flexibility to accommodate thoughtful adjustments.

Leaders need the time and space to focus on their organization’s mission, so we keep things simple and only require that which will have real influence on our funding decisions.

We prioritize knowing leaders well before making our funding decisions as we believe mutually beneficial outcomes are directly related to the quality of our relationships.

We are early believers and backers. We believe in betting on the future of an organization versus their current operating budget. We are accepting of the risks involved with investing in early and startup nonprofits.

We enjoy challenging the common assumptions and definitions of risk in the nonprofit sector because if we don’t, quality leaders with big and innovative ideas will continue to be excluded.
