Through the Center for Faith & Action, CTS awards catalytic grants to grassroots organizations and faith communities on the front lines of poverty in Indianapolis. These grants are designed to fund the kind of bold, community-driven solutions that don't always have access to traditional funding. Our catalytic grants target the root causes of poverty and the barriers that keep individuals and families from building stable, dignified lives. Funding is focused on five key areas:
Expanding access to learning opportunities and pathways to advancement
Supporting physical and mental wellness resources for underserved communities
Addressing the critical need for safe, stable places to call home
Creating bridges to sustainable work and economic mobility
Connecting individuals and families with the resources and relationships they need to thrive
These grants are designed to fund the kind of bold, community-driven solutions that don't always have access to traditional funding. Behind every grant is a family working toward stability, a community organization fighting for change, and a vision of Indianapolis where everyone has access to opportunity and hope. Your support makes it possible for CTS to keep funding that vision.
