“Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.
”
It is in that spirit that Katalis has found inspiration since our conception. Our ability to work collectively with our strategic partners is at the core of who we are, and we want to celebrate those relationships. In this series of partner spotlights we'd like to introduce you to a handful of organizations we have the privilege of teaming with, and the incredible work they are doing as champions for education and community development in Haiti.
2017 in Review
A new year is often a time of reflection - to examine where you have been in order to better understand where you are going. One year ago Katalis was nothing more than the lofty "what if" of a couple of friends who had seen a need first hand and wanted to expand their impact. One year later Katalis has moved from dream to reality, and has an even bigger vision for the future.
2017 saw our creation as an organization, the development of our SPARC Haiti scholarship program, and partnership building in both the US and Haiti. That has set the bar high for 2018 when we plan to establish our signature fundraising events, expand awareness of our cause, and most importantly award our inaugural scholarships.
We learned a lot in 2017. We discovered the intricacies of nonprofit management, and how crucial collaboration and partnership are to really making a difference. We were humbled by all the support we received, and are encouraged by the passion we see in others for the work we are doing.
As we move from 2017 into the new year, we are hopeful for what 2018 has in store. We look forward to the successes and the opportunities to grown and evolve that 2018 will bring. But most of all, we are optimistic that in a year we will be reflecting on 2018 with even greater aspirations for 2019. Thank you for joining in the adventure.
