Direct route
Direct charitable gift
An individual or business gives directly to Catholic Mission Network, which acknowledges the charitable contribution.
No Donor Advised Fund intermediary
Capital Flow
How PRI capital moves and keeps working
Two funding paths converge in one managed PRI structure, then repayments return for future mission-aligned investments.
Two ways in. One revolving capital cycle.
The funding source changes the first transaction. Once the money reaches Catholic Mission Network, every PRI follows the same stewardship, deployment, and repayment path.
Capital enters through one of two charitable routes
Choose the route that matches where the charitable assets are currently held.
DAF route
Donor Advised Fund grant
The donor recommends a grant. The sponsoring organization reviews it and sends an irrevocable grant to Catholic Mission Network.
No loan or repayment at the DAF level
Either route delivers charitable capital to CMN
Public charity and fiduciary steward
Catholic Mission Network
Receives the gift or grant, retains legal control and fiduciary oversight, and directs the charitable capital for PRI use.
501(c)(3) public charity and sole member of SaT Catalyst, LLC
CMN directs the capital for PRI use
Nonprofit-owned operating arm
SaT Catalyst, LLC
Structures the investment, administers the PRI platform, and manages agreements, deployment, and repayment activity.
Wholly owned by Catholic Mission Network
Capital is placed in the PRI fund
Revolving capital pool
Program Related Investment Fund
Charitable capital is held for deployment into an approved, mission-aligned PRI.
Capital is ready for an eligible investment
An eligible PRI is approved and documented
Mission-aligned financing
PRI project or recipient
The recipient receives a below-market investment with a documented charitable purpose and repayment terms.
Example: an approved school, clinic, or social enterprise
Repayment follows the documented investment terms
Principal and interest return to the PRI fund
Repaid capital can be deployed again to another approved project, extending the life of the original contribution.
Legal treatment
Where repayment happens
A DAF grant is complete when Catholic Mission Network receives it. Recoverable capital begins only inside the SaT PRI platform.
At the DAF level
The sponsoring organization makes an irrevocable charitable grant. The donor and DAF have no right to principal or interest from the PRI recipient.
Inside the PRI platform
The recipient repays principal and interest to the PRI fund, where it remains charitable capital available for future mission-aligned investments.
DAF sponsors should confirm their willingness to grant into a nonprofit-owned LLC structure. Expenditure responsibility rules may apply.
