The Catalyst Fund is the League of American Orchestras’ new grant-making program to advance equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in America’s orchestras. Catalyst Fund grants ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 will be given to adult and youth orchestras to support the costs of retaining a skilled EDI practitioner to advance EDI learning objectives. The Catalyst Fund is supported by a three-year, $2.1 million grant to the League from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Learn more about The Catalyst Fund here
