The Roddenberry Foundation’s (TRF) Catalyst Fund was created because they believe that philanthropists, and foundations in particular, need to take more risks. The Catalyst Fund is one of several new TRF initiatives designed to make riskier bets in early-stage ideas that have great potential and provides grants between $2500 -$15,000, with no limit to the number of projects suported in any given year.
