🍂 New funding, Catalyst CIC closure and network stewardship

Welcome to the Catalyst newsletter

We’re back after a reflective break. In this special issue:

🍂  Catalyst CIC is closing, but the network will continue

💸  New microgrants for tech justice work

Next issue we’ll return with more resources and writing from the network. As ever, we’d love to hear from you with any feedback or content suggestions.

Get in touch at comms@thecatalyst.org.uk

🍂 Composting the old to seed the new

Catalyst will close its CIC next spring. Over the coming months we’ll focus on investing in the network, redistributing assets, and supporting others to carry the ripples of tech justice work forward.

Find out what’s ending, what will continue, and how you can help the network evolve beyond the organisation itself.

Read about Catalyst CIC closing in March 2026.

💸 Kindling – our final grants programme to support tech justice work

As Catalyst CIC moves toward closure, we’re redistributing funds through the Kindling Programme. We’re offering £3,000 and a retreat for individuals or organisations ready to explore, test, or deepen liberatory approaches to technology.

This final experiment in funding and network-connecting aims to nourish what’s already growing, and what’s ready to begin.

Learn more and apply by 21 November.

With love and care
