Catalyst Opportunity Funds

Catalyst is a double bottom-line investment firm focused on transformative “Opportunity Zone” investments in high-potential but historically underserved US markets.Catalyst is targeting a subset of smaller and mid-sized O-Zone markets that are uniquely positioned to take advantage of the program and where the impact and financial return profilesare most compelling. These communities have significant human and physical resources and are signaling growth potential but chronic underinvestment keeps them from pushing past a tipping point to a more sustained prosperity. Their place-based investments seek to capture these signals by redeveloping the built environment, creating jobs for local residents and driving additional resources into the community through public, philanthropic and non-profit partners.
