Our Team

The citizens serving on Catalyst Fund’s committees represent only themselves, not any organization or political entity they are associated with. Together, they represent a diverse range of experience, combining natives of the Valley with relative newcomers, philanthropists with grassroots leaders, and drawing on knowledge and networks of government.
