Kataly Foundation
The Kataly Foundation moves resources to support the economic, political, and cultural power of Black and Indigenous communities, and all communities of color. By transforming our relationship to capital, the planet, each other, and ourselves, we will redistribute and redefine wealth in a way that leads to transformation, abundance, and regeneration. Our vision is 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. We believe our fates are intertwined and ensuring self-determination for communities of color is in service of our collective liberation.
