Support Catalyst Grants
At Cleveland Clinic, our employees, called caregivers, share a spirit of compassion and innovation. They’re always searching for newer, better ways to improve lives. In 2018, we created the Catalyst Grants to support their brilliant ideas. Since then, we’ve received more than 1,000 applications from caregivers who envision a brighter future. Our ability to fund their ideas is limited only by the philanthropic support we receive from generous donors. With your help, we can harness the power of philanthropy for caregivers, patients and communities throughout the country.
