THE CATALYST
An idea incubator and fund
Utilize the Catalyst to turn your ideas into impactful projects, collaborate with a supportive community, and gain the resources and skills to bring your vision to life!
WHO ARE WE?
The Catalyst is a peer-mentored idea incubator staffed with student mentors that assist students in nurturing, developing, and transforming ideas into tangible projects, initiatives, organizations, or startups.
Our mentors are trained to support any ideas brought by students.

The Catalyst is a program under the direction of the Donald and Winifred Wilson Center for Innovation and Leadership at Grinnell College.
The Catalyst Fund
Not all projects will seek funding. We accept project funding applications from students who are already engaged with the Catalyst framework and receiving feedback from a Catalyst mentor. Ask your mentor about the process.
