Why Raise Capital on CataCap?

CataCap helps impact-oriented ventures raise capital by providing the structure, tools, and education to engage mission-aligned supporters in a charitable investment model. Our platform enables founders and fund managers to invite their network to support their work through patient, flexible capital — including donations made via donor-advised funds (DAFs).

Unlike traditional funding avenues, CataCap offers:

Streamlined Infrastructure: Purpose-built tools and workflows that reduce friction and help founders focus on engaging supporters and scaling impact.
Flexible Participation: By enabling smaller contribution amounts and multiple funding options, CataCap makes it easier for a broader range of supporters to participate.
Mission-Aligned Capital: CataCap helps founders channel support from individuals and institutions who care deeply about their mission, creating long-term alignment and shared purpose.

Whether you’re launching a new venture or scaling an established impact-driven organization, CataCap provides the platform and guidance to help you mobilize philanthropic capital that might otherwise remain unused in the for-profit, impact space.

Founders lead the outreach; CataCap supplies the structure to make charitable investing possible, compliant, and repeatable.

You Bring the Donor-Investors

We Make It Possible

CataCap unlocks a new way to fund your mission by turning donations into investment capital. We provide the nonprofit platform, tools, and guidance — you bring the community.

Whether it’s a few major backers or many small supporters, having early donor-investors lined up is key to launching strong. We’ll help you prepare with resources on outreach, campaign design, and platform strategy.

Our long-term vision is a thriving ecosystem of donor-investors actively discovering and supporting organizations like yours. As we build toward that future, early campaigns succeed by bringing their network with them.

We’re here to help you get there — and grow with you from day one.

Why do we like Catalytic Capital?

1

Access to Patient, Aligned Capital

Donor-investors care more about long-term impact and returns—not short-term exits.

2

Investments are Donations

CataCap Donors/Investors make tax deductible donations to their CataCap accounts and then recommend impact-oriented investments for the funds. The funds are never returned to a Donor/Investor directly and instead generate additional investment.

3

Nearly $2 trillion dollars for Funding

Whether you have friends and family that want to support your vision, or open it to the wider CataCap community, you are unlocking a new way to gather investments via donations.

4

Enable your Champions

Allow your advocates to invest in your success while also making it easy to promote to others.
