Join Us to Transform Economic Welfare

Financial Catalyst partners with neighbors across our city to teach biblical stewardship principles through relational discipleship, financial education, and empowerment. Neighbors apply the content to their daily habits, save toward the purchase of an asset, and have their savings matched 2:1 by Watermark CDC to purchase one of the 4 assets of their choice.  

This year, our goal is to raise $300,000 to help 40 neighbors fund life-changing asset purchases, such as a vehicle, home, business, or secondary education. 

Our hope is to see real-life change and human flourishing, bringing dignity and healthy independence with the gospel of Jesus Christ at the core of our mission.
