Tech Justice Funders' Forum

Saathi Capital is now stewarding this forum in collaboration with the Islamic Impact Investing Summit.

Catalyst CIC closed in March 2026. The Funders’ Forum continues to exist, stewarded by Saathi Capital (UpEffect Limited).

Legacy Note

The Funders’ Forum is an online space where we bring together funders, thinkers and grassroots leaders from across the network to share insights and explore tech justice topics.

It fosters mutual influence: funders shape our role in the justice ecosystem while the network informs funders’ strategies for supporting tech justice.

Funders also get to exchange insights with each other and tech justice leaders, driving collaboration and shared progress.

“Catalyst is uniquely positioned. They’re helping funders keep up with rapid change, while never losing sight of the wider sector’s needs.” – Andy Curtis, Research and Evaluation Manager, Paul Hamlyn Foundation



About the Forum

How can we unlock funding for digital projects supporting minoritised communities? 

Which grassroots voices are leading innovative, boundary-pushing initiatives, and what evidence demonstrates their value?

How can funders take a leadership role in advancing grassroots tech justice? What emerging opportunities should they prioritise?
