Catalyst:Ed
What if every education leader and team that identified a challenge could access the expertise and hands-on support they needed to address it? What if, as a sector, we were continuously learning from these efforts and leveraging insights to better students, families, and communities? Catalyst:Ed is a national nonprofit working to transform the capacity of the nation’s education ecosystem and improve outcomes for the millions of students it serves. Our pioneering model rapidly and effectively matches education organizations to tailored technical assistance and capacity building supports so they can address long-standing challenges and expand the limits of what they can accomplish. We also invest in strengthening the capacity of grassroots organizations that work in close proximity to historically marginalized communities. At a systemic level, we are building the ecosystem and infrastructure – the network, the technology, and the know-how – needed to support capacity building at scale, strengthen the field of providers, and facilitate sector-wide learning. Our guiding principles: - Capacity building fuels world-changing work. - Individualized support is necessary, yet collective learning is possible. - A focus equity and justice must be integrated into capacity building. - There is no progress without trust.
