Foundation, a family foundation based in the San Francisco Bay
Area, supports restorative economics, environmental justice,
mindfulness and healing justice, and racial justice. Founded in
2018 with the intention of spending out a $445 million endowment

support movements around these issues and serve as a progressive
leader in philanthropy.Kataly's mission is to support and provide
resources to communities and social movements that are exploring
new solutions to persistent, systemic problems. Kataly does this
while embracing its role and responsibility in changing systems
that led to wealth extraction from these communities in the first

and cultural power of Black and Indigenous communities and all
communities of color. By transforming its own relationship to
capital, the planet, and each other, the Kataly Foundation will

transformation, abundance, and regeneration.One important
distinction of the Kataly Foundation is that its approach is meant
