Rethinking How Capital Reaches Community-Based Organizations

Significant capital is committed across philanthropy and institutional investment to support community-based organizations. Yet funding is rarely paired with the capacity-building support for organizations to absorb and translate resources into results.

In this interactive meetup, Leona Christy of Catalyst Exchange and Blue Meridian will explore how catalytic capital can be structured and deployed differently. Participants will examine practical approaches that integrate flexible funding with on-demand capacity-building support, helping reduce friction and enabling capital to move with greater speed, clarity, and impact.
