ABOUT CATALYZE LABS We all want to make a difference in our community and in the world around us. But where to start?

Purpose Portfolio (the Lab’s first ‘experiment’) makes engaging in social impact issues effortless…and fun. Our app and web dashboard combine great story-telling and discovery with easy donation, volunteer, and advocacy opportunities that help the very best charities and social businesses in the world. As users engage, they get updates from the organizations they supported, and dashboard reporting on their overall social impact footprint.

We help people be as data-driven, connected, and purposeful with their social impact as they are the rest of their lives. #speedthechange
