The purpose of the Catalyst Fund is to accelerate the pace and practice of landscape conservation and stewardship across the United States. The Fund makes strategic investments in strengthening the collaborative capacity of place-based, community-grounded Landscape Partnerships.

Through generous support from the Doris Duke Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Catalyst Fund will distribute approximately $335,000 this year through competitive grants to Landscape Partnerships that stand at pivotal points in their development. Funded Partnerships will also be invited to participate in a two-year peer learning program. 

A portion of the Catalyst Fund is dedicated to supporting Indigenous leadership in landscape conservation. They especially invite Partnerships that are led by Tribes and/or Indigenous peoples, organizations, and communities to apply.
