About the Catalyst Fund of Northwest Arkansas

For many of us in Northwest Arkansas, one small, unexpected financial difficulty can have a big impact on our lives. The Catalyst Fund is designed to prevent these moments from spiraling into crisis.

The Catalyst Fund is a short-term financial assistance program created by Endeavor Foundation and Walton Family Foundation that focuses on helping people one-by-one-by-one in an extremely efficient, highly controlled, and completely transparent manner.

One hundred percent of all donated dollars go directly to serving people's needs, and all funding is sent to service providers on behalf of clients, not to the clients themselves.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Endeavor Foundation will do a 1:1 match of all dollars given to the Catalyst Fund
