Donor-Investors
Whether you are an individual, family, church, business or foundation, we exist to help you invest Charitable Dollars into sustainable and transformative organizations.
Who We Serve
Donor-Investors
With SaT Catalyst, you can grow your impact through investing your charitable dollars into businesses and organizations solving the problems you believe in. You can even propose new ones and create your own impact investments!
You decide who you want to support and how much, and we invest your impact funds accordingly by making a loan or equity investment in the organization.
The Organization is able to grow and increase its impact on the community. The Organization then repays the investment, replenishing your funds so you can give again, and again with the same dollars.
Donor Investor
Individuals & Families
An individual may donate money directly to the SAT Catalyst Fund or they may direct their Donor Advised Fund (DAF) at a foundation to invest in the Fund. In either case, we open an account for the individual or DAF. The individual may advise on which investments they want their dollars to be allocated to and/or the churches they would like their funds to be used as a match. The individual also has the right to direct the residual proceeds of the fund to their DAF at a foundation or other beneficial charity.

Churches
The SAT Catalyst Fund is meant to be a catalyst for churches and their business-minded people to work together on enterprise solutions THROUGH THEIR CHURCH. We work with your mission committee and business-minded donors to leverage, or multiply the dollars you have to invest in Sutainable and Transformational ventures.

Who We Invest In

We offer three primary types of ventures you may invest in:

- Loans to non-profits that are raising money for specific projects which they anticipate being able to pay back. An example might be a real estate loan or church bond.
- Custom-designed ventures. These are projects we design jointly to accomplish yours and the non-profits goals.
