Description
Catalyst Grants support community needs that would not otherwise be fulfilled by a traditional grant. Offered by Humboldt Area Foundation & Wild Rivers Community Foundation (HAF+WRCF), they support defined, short-term work such as gap funding, specific events, and other projects that can be completed within six to twelve months.
The grants are part of the Klamath River Fund, a HAF+WRCF program focused on community-led climate resilience and restorative justice. Following the dam removals in 2023 and 2024, the fund invests in restoration and revitalization throughout the Klamath River Basin over the following decade. This work connects with the foundation’s priorities of racial equity, just economic development, healthy ecosystems and environments, and thriving youth and families.
