About Kataly Foundation

Kataly Foundation, a family foundation based in the San Francisco Bay Area, supports restorative economics, environmental justice, mindfulness and healing justice, and racial justice. Founded in 2018 with the intention of spending out a $445 million endowment over a ten-year time horizon, this growing organization intends to support movements around these issues and serve as a progressive leader in philanthropy.

Kataly's mission is to support and provide resources to communities and social movements that are exploring new solutions to persistent, systemic problems. Kataly does this while embracing its role and responsibility in changing systems that led to wealth extraction from these communities in the first place. Kataly moves resources to support the economic, political, and cultural power of Black and Indigenous communities and all communities of color. By transforming its own relationship to capital, the planet, and each other, the Kataly Foundation will redistribute and redefine wealth in a way that leads to transformation, abundance, and regeneration.

Kataly appreciates that the culture the team builds internally is as important as the work done externally. The Kataly team practices the organization's values of transparency, experimentation, interdependence, accountability, and healing both internally and externally. For example, Kataly published a failure series to share openly and transparently with the field on where they made mistakes and how they could do better going forward. In the Restorative Economies Fund team, there is specific time set aside to ensure the team is tending to culture as well as tending to the day-to-day work. This includes regular temperature checks on how team members are in relationship with each other. Finally, the Kataly team is honing internal practices of collaborating across teams to ensure that they are sharing information, experimenting, and working on cross-team relationships.

One important distinction of the Kataly Foundation is that its approach is meant to be inclusive of the communities it seeks to fund. Pursuing a "practitioner-funder" philosophy, the Foundation actively engages leaders in the fields it supports to help make grantmaking decisions. Kataly aims to center solutions where the problems are. In addition, the Foundation is committed to solidarity philanthropy practices: general operating support, creative use of capital, and a commitment to capacity building and network weaving.

Kataly's Program Areas include:

Restorative Economies Fund:

The Restorative Economies Fund (REF) invests resources into community-owned and governed projects led by people of color that create shared prosperity, self-determination, and build collective power. REF is an integrated capital fund, which means the Fund combines grants with non-extractive investments (loans, loan guarantees, lines of credit, etc.) and non-financial support including technical assistance or strategic advice.

Environmental Justice Resourcing Collective:

The Environmental Justice Resourcing Collective (EJRC) is a group of nine women of color movement leaders who are resourcing work that builds power in communities of color, and grows movements for racial, social, economic, and environmental justice. The Collective funds work led by and for the communities most impacted by environmental racism, climate change, and unjust systems.

Mindfulness and Healing Justice:

The Mindfulness and Healing Justice (MHJ) program supports community-based mindfulness programs, teacher training, leadership development, and healing justice practices for Black and Indigenous communities, and all people of color. MHJ centers mindfulness and healing in the service of racial justice, power-building, and collective liberation.

Kataly is working toward a world in which Black and brown people have the resources, power, and agency to execute their own visions for justice, well-being, and shared prosperity within their communities.

Kataly believes our fates are intertwined and ensuring self-determination for communities of color is in service of our collective liberation.
