Our mission is to empower progressive organizations and leaders across sectors with the strategies and solutions needed to amplify voices, shape policy, and drive systemic progress.

We ground every project in equity, evidence, and lived experience to ensure outcomes are credible, actionable, and sustainable.

By combining strategic expertise, research-driven approaches, and real-world insight, we create solutions that are practical, effective, and responsive to the challenges organizations face. Having walked alongside these challenges ourselves, we bring a depth of understanding that strengthens our commitment to helping partners expand their impact, influence decision-makers, and achieve lasting results.

The Catalyst Haven Story

Founded in 2025, Catalyst Haven began as a digital communications agency supporting organizations in the substance use and mental health sectors. Through this work, we recognized a broader need. Many progressive organizations face barriers to shaping policy, amplifying their missions, and achieving systemic change. Digital tools alone were not enough. What was missing was an integrated approach that combined strategy, advocacy, and communications.

This realization inspired our evolution. Today, Catalyst Haven is a strategy and advocacy firm serving non-profits, funders, associations, and progressive businesses across sectors.

What sets us apart is the intersection of professional expertise, lived experience, and evidence-based strategy. We co-create inclusive, innovative solutions that help our partners amplify voices, influence decision-makers, and deliver lasting progress.
