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.
The primary purpose must be to accomplish a social or charitable mission, not to generate income.
Production of income or appreciation of property cannot be a significant purpose of the investment.
Low-interest loans to economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs building businesses in underserved markets.
High-risk investments in low-income housing development that creates safe, dignified living conditions.
Small business loans to underserved communities that lack access to commercial credit and banking services.
Have your DAF representative create a PRI Account with SaT Catalyst and start deploying capital into vetted, sustainable ventures.
The investment cannot be used to influence legislation or participate in political campaigns.
Note: If a PRI incidentally produces significant income, this alone does not disqualify it — as long as the primary purpose remains mission-driven.
Business investments in low-income areas that provide meaningful employment opportunities and job training.
Investments addressing community deterioration through economic development, infrastructure, and local renewal.
