Annually, the Catalytic Foundation supports hundreds of community charities, providing donations, resources and volunteering where it’s needed most. Our accreditation programme recognizes and acknowledges the quality and trustworthiness of the community charities that we support.
Through the power of a nationally coordinated fundraising effort and payday giving, the Catalytic Foundation maximizes the funding received to support multiple community partners throughout New Zealand. We annually support over 100 small to medium sized human welfare organisations throughout New Zealand, focusing on organisations that lack name, recognition or size to attract significant funding but provide high quality essential services in the community in line with our mission.
Our charity evaluation and assessment process and criteria is a thoroughly tried and tested approach, one which goes back 40 years to when the foundation used to be United Way NZ. With the launch of the accreditation programme, sponsors and donors can rely on this accreditation status to know that funds are wisely invested back into the communities for maximum impact.
