“The Catalyst Fund provides small grants to support one-time, non-renewable capacity building efforts in community-based nonprofit organizations seeking to address a health or health care issue. The grant program is supported by contributions from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts employees and vendors.
Nonprofit organizations that serve the health and health care needs of low-income and vulnerable residents of Massachusetts often operate under limited resources and capacity to entirely fulfill the needs of community members and staff. While implementing large-scale initiatives, or trying to keep up with the demands of ongoing operations, organizations are often forced to be more reactive as opposed to proactive. As a result, launching new initiatives to strengthen their infrastructure, or taking time to plan for the future or ensure sustainability, can be a luxury. The Catalyst Fund is intended to help organizations pay for some of the activities that can move them forward, position them for future opportunities, and as its name implies, help spark innovation.”
Funder: The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation
Eligibility: “Community-based nonprofit organizations. The Foundation will accept applications from community health centers, community-based organizations and social service organizations, even from those for which health is not a core activity or emphasis; as long as a compelling connection to health or health care is demonstrated as a focus of the proposed work, applications will be accepted for review.”
Amount: Up to $5,000
