Catalyst Foundation has over 20 years of success and struggle in the poorest villages of Southern Vietnam. Founded in 1999, Catalyst Foundation is an American Non-Governmental Organization. Starting in the Mekong Delta, we have had successful projects in Vĩnh Long (1999-2002), Bình Thuận (1999-2002), Hồ Chí Minh City (2003-2004, 2007-2009), Đồng Tháp (2005-2010), and Kiên Giang (2007 - 2013). We have taken that experience and are applying our Holistic programs in Ninh Thuận province (2013 - present). Our mission is to build communities to fight human trafficking. We work together with our key stakeholders (children, parents, hamlet leaders, caretakers, social workers, and teachers) to prioritize what programs are needed: education, housing, food, job training, debt management and/or emotional support, etc. As we set long-term objectives for the community, they begin to realize that the poverty, discrimination and dehumanization that they’ve experienced throughout their entire lives, will eventually change to hope and a brighter future for their children. The main objective of Catalyst Foundation’s Holistic Community Development program is to assist our community in becoming self-sufficient. We firmly believe that the most effective way to break the cycle of poverty is to strategically empower whole communities by educating, providing training and employment, building safe dwellings, and empowering children to stand up with dignity.

Founded in 2000 by Silicon Valley investor Bob King and his wife Dottie, the Thrive Foundation for Youth supports young people during pivotal years of their lives – ages 10 to 18 – in reaching their full potential. Thrive believes in the combined power of applied research and on-the-ground practice to make tangible difference in the lives of young people. Our scientific research is dedicated to answering the question: “What helps a young person to thrive?” Our active partnerships with youth-serving organizations are dedicated to putting that knowledge into practice, and to changing as many lives as possible throughout the country. We believe that thriving is unique to each individual, that each young person, regardless of circumstances, has the potential to thrive with the support of competent, caring adults in their lives. For that reason we dedicate our resources to helping disadvantaged young people who may not have these adults consistently in their lives, or the adults may need help to better support the youth in their care. Our youth-serving partners work on the ground with young people throughout the country. Their knowledge and experience guides our investment strategy and our collaborative approach with our grantees.
