About the Catalyst Initiative of The Minneapolis Foundation:
Catalyst Initiative is a field of interest fund of The Minneapolis Foundation designed to build integrative health and healing in Minnesota. The Catalyst Initiative’s purpose is to honor and foster culturally authentic self-care practices to advance health and well-being.
