We are a Program Related Investment facilitator. We connect investors with vetted, faith-driven ventures that create sustainable and transformational change — and return your capital so you can do it again.
A Program Related Investment (PRI) is an investment where the primary purpose is to accomplish a social mission — not to generate profit. Unlike traditional donations that are spent once, PRIs deploy capital into real ventures. When those ventures repay, the capital returns to your directed fund for reinvestment.
The IRS recognizes PRIs under Section 4944(c) as investments made primarily to accomplish exempt purposes. While they may incidentally produce income, their defining characteristic is mission-first deployment of capital.
Your Donor Advised Fund representative sets up a PRI Account with SaT Catalyst. Simple, easy setup to get your capital ready for mission-aligned deployment.
Your Donor Advised Fund holds the funds until a suitable investment opportunity is identified. Capital remains secure while we source and vet mission-aligned ventures.
Once an investment is identified, funds are transferred from your Donor Advised Fund to your PRI Account at SaT Catalyst, ready for deployment.
The SaT Catalyst platform structures loan notes and manages all agreements, handling the legal and financial framework so you can focus on impact.
The investment is made via loan to the chosen recipient — whether individuals, for-profit companies, or non-profit organizations. Your capital is now working for purpose.
Investors can loan debt capital to launching or expanding Catholic-led or other Christian-led for-profit businesses intending to pursue business success and the flourishing of those employed in and connected to the business. These entrepreneurs often see their business as their mission field, wishing to generate both ROI and eternal ROI. Industries and size will vary.
Investors can loan debt capital to launching or expanding for-profit businesses in underserved communities where capital is scarce, and the will and need to overcome the cycle of poverty is great. Options for these entrepreneurs are few. Many of these entrepreneurs will be prepared to receive capital through the Spark Tank Entrepreneur Program, hosted through Benedictine College and its Thompson Center for Integrity in Finance and Economics. Industries will vary, but the size will normally be smaller, but nevertheless, essential for breaking the cycle of poverty in these communities.
