Stop the Hate
The California Department of Social Services (CDSS), in partnership with the Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs, initiated Stop the Hate to support all victims of hate crimes/incidents and their families, and to facilitate hate prevention measures in communities across California. As regional lead for San Diego and Imperial Counties, Catalyst works with CDSS to support the organizations funded to provide prevention, intervention, and direct services during the pilot year and through the two-year continuation of the program.
Far South/Border North: Artists and Cultural Practitioners in Community
The FSBN will engage the creative workforce in the goals of social justice, public health, energy and water conservation, climate mitigation, and civic engagement. Approximately 114 artists and cultural practitioners will be funded to design and implement campaigns that focus on the needs of local communities in the lowest quartile of the California Healthy Places Index (application is open through March 22 5PM Pacific).
Catalyst seeks five organizations to serve as Social Impact Hubs and bridge and mentor between the artists/cultural practitioners and the program goals.
This activity is funded in part by the California Arts Council, a State Agency, and implemented through a contract with The City of San Diego.
