Your capital should be working. Not sitting.
You opened a DAF to give with intent. Catylst walks you from the conviction in your head to a grant your custodian can execute — discovery, cited explanation, shared diligence, and a clean hand-off. No composite scores. No black boxes.
Find organizations aligned with your convictions.
Tell Catylst what matters — mission, faith identity, cause focus, geography, grant size. We surface organizations that match across ten transparent dimensions. No composite score, no paid placement. Faith fields are always optional; skipping any one of them never costs you match quality.
See the 10 dimensionsSee exactly why each organization is recommended.
Every match ships with a plain-English explanation that cites its sources — Form 990 lines, annual reports, third-party evaluations. Three levels of detail let you skim the summary or open the full dimension-by-dimension breakdown. When data is missing, we say so.
Walk a sample matchBring your spouse, adviser, or giving circle into the room.
Open a shared deal room for any organization you are seriously considering. Invite your spouse, your financial advisor, or your giving circle. Threaded discussion keeps the conversation in one place; private notes stay private. AI-assisted Q&A answers only from verified documents — and always cites the line it came from.
Inside a deal roomPrepare a grant package your custodian can execute.
When you are ready to recommend, Catylst assembles a compliant package — match explanation, diligence checklist, decision rationale, compliance footer on every page — and hands it to your custodian. It works with Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, National Christian Foundation, Vanguard Charitable, or any custodian you use. Catylst never custodies funds; your DAF stays in charge.

Track where your capital lands.
Every grant you recommend lands in a portfolio you can actually see. Catylst tracks when your DAF custodian executes the grant, when funds reach the organization, and when the work begins.
At six and twelve months, funded organizations submit a structured impact report — outcomes, photos, citations, next steps — so you can see exactly what your capital accomplished. No self-congratulation, no fabricated numbers. Just cited, auditable follow-up.
Everything is exportable, shareable with your spouse or your advisor, and ready for your end-of-year giving review.
