Strengthening our communities today. Collectively transforming tomorrow.
Founded in 1996 by Daniella Levine Cava, Catalyst Miami is building a Miami where all people can afford to live well, for generations to come.
We believe change happens when those affected by injustice lead the solutions that address the root causes of the systems failing us.
That’s why our mission is to build power with frontline communities throughout Miami-Dade County to collectively advance justice and achieve shared prosperity.
This is how we move toward our ultimate vision of a just society where everyone can lead healthy, prosperous, self-determined lives.
Our services and programs are tailored to Miami's Black and Brown folks from low- to moderate-income communities on the frontlines of climate and economic injustice.
In addition to supporting individuals, families, and small businesses through a variety of free services, we focus on catalyzing opportunities to strengthen our neighborhoods, expand local ownership, and shape public policy.
Our advocacy and leadership training programs, as well as our community economic development initiatives, contribute to an ever-growing network of grassroots leaders transforming our region from the ground up.
All these efforts contribute to the unified, influential, multigenerational movement that we need to usher in a more just and joyful future for all who call Miami-Dade home.
