Catalyst Fund
Scaling What Works
The NASH Catalyst Fund encourages broad engagement of system members in sharing promising practices that are leading to equitable student success outcomes scalable to fellow systems.
Its impact will be far-reaching but the concept is simple: through pooled philanthropic support, NASH can recognize and incentivize the development of our members’ big ideas that, once proven to work, have the potential to be scaled not only across a single system but amongst peers around the country.
The first round of the NASH Catalyst Fund included $275,000 to recognize hotspots of best practices that demonstrate interventions that are already underway and proving to be successful with the potential to have a catalytic impact in meeting NASH’s measurable goals.
P-20 Partnerships Request for Proposals
NASH is excited to announce the launch of a new request for proposals for a Catalyst Fund aimed at identifying, expanding, and assessing innovative approaches to P-20 collaborations. The Catalyst Fund aims to lift up examples of “systemness” that advance educational opportunity and excellence through collaborations that span the educational continuum from pre-K through postsecondary education. NASH is seeking examples of meaningful partnerships between pre-K-12 and postsecondary entities from across the nation that demonstrate efforts to “seed, test, and scale” what works to advance student success. This RFP emphasizes the inherent interdependency between P-12 and postsecondary systems of education in effectively preparing the workforce and engaged citizens of tomorrow.
For more information, read the P-20 Partnerships RFP. Completed submission forms and all supporting documentation should be sent to Catalyst@nash.edu by 12:
