Charities we support

One of the difficult questions is which charities to support? 

Annually, the Catalytic Foundation supports hundreds of hardworking community charities, providing donations, resources and volunteering where it’s needed most. 

Through the power of a nationally coordinated fundraising effort and 'Pay It Forward' campaign, the Catalytic Foundation distributes grant funding to support over 100 community partners per year, throughout Aotearoa.

The Catalytic Foundation has over 40 years of experience, so our charity assessment process is one that donors can rely on.  The 10-step assessment process includes our staff and/or volunteer ambassadors meeting with every charity who is funded. Successful charities are given a Catalytic endorsement, to recognise and acknowledge the important work and social impact they have in the community.

The charities who have received support from Catalytic in the 2022/2023 financial year are:
