A Non-Profit (501c3) Community-Based Organization

 

________________________________________________________

Catalyst Partnerships started in September 2007, as a grass-roots movement consisting of a few families and individuals who simply wanted to help neighbors who needed assistance with home repairs due to physical or financial limitations. Catalyst Partnerships was registered as a public-benefit non-profit corporation on August 1, 2008. Since our inception we have worked with almost 800 volunteers who have donated over 4,800 hours for projects in Oregon and Washington.  We call them RESTORATION PROJECTS.
 
Catalyst Partnerships has a nine member Board of Directors. Our aim is to mobilize volunteers to provide home repairs, maintenance, and remodeling for elderly, disabled, and under-resourced property owners for low, and sometimes no, fee.  Our volunteers range from highly-skilled trades professionals, to 'barely-skilled' novices who just want to pitch-in to help.  We encourage parents to bring children, and are delighted to enable handicapped citizens to serve as well.  Projects include yard reclamation, property accessibility upgrades, and construction repairs/remodeling as needed.  All construction trades, including electrical, plumbing, and roofing work, are performed and/or overseen by licensed, bonded & insured contractors.  Recipient property owners are selected according to legitimate needs by application process, and contribute funds and/or labor as able.

Catalyst Partnerships, based in Beaverton, OR, inspires people, builds hope, and nurtures community by bringing together useful resources and loving volunteers to meet the needs of under-resourced people in our communities.

VALUES:
Serving others with no strings attached 
Equipping individuals for personal, social, and spiritual development
Cultivating authentic & healthy relationships
