Partners & Projects

Learn about the organizations that are designing, deploying, and analyzing catalytic capital solutions to support social and environmental progress.

Investing in Field Partnerships

As part of C3, the MacArthur Foundation has invested in funds and organizations that demonstrate a powerful use of catalytic capital. Investments have been designed to reduce risk, build track records, increase the scale of promising fund managers, and set the stage for other investors to participate.

Strengthening the Evidence Base

C3 grants have funded 14 research projects to analyze the uses of catalytic capital around the world and help strengthen the evidence base for the field. The goal is to fuel additional risk-tolerant, flexible, and patient investments that address critical global challenges.

Fostering Solutions & Infrastructure

C3 grants have supported 12 plans to address barriers that create financing gaps and slow progress on critical social and environmental issues. Projects have been designed to accelerate the flow of catalytic capital and support impact that would not otherwise be possible.
