The Catalyst Grants is a program designed to help our caregivers’ become champions for ideas that will deliver high quality, compassionate care for our patients and communities. 100% of gifts made to the program through Cleveland Clinic Annual Fund campaigns — from the Philanthropy Institute’s mailings, calling programs, online donation forms, etc. — will catalyze projects that, in one year, expand patient support services, lay the groundwork for medical breakthroughs, and implement health and wellness programs.
It’s this spirit of innovation and invention that drives Cleveland Clinic employees, called caregivers, to imagine groundbreaking medical discoveries, superior patient services or influential population health programs. Executing an idea, however, takes planning, determination — and funding. Launched in 2018, the Catalyst Grants program was created to help our caregivers implement their best and brightest ideas and positively impact our patients and communities.
