Some Missions Just Need A Spark.
Catalyzt helps nonprofits turn strategy into momentum, with hands-on support in development, marketing, and grants.
Connecting Missions to Momentum.
At Catalyzt | a nonprofit collective, we are dedicated to helping nonprofits grow and thrive by enhancing their Development, Marketing, and Grants efforts. We provide both full-service and customizable options, allowing you to choose the support that best fits your organization's unique needs. This way, you can concentrate more fully on your mission and create the most meaningful and lasting impact in your community.
Catalyzt was built on a simple belief: you deserve specialists, not generalists. Our team brings deep expertise across fundraising, marketing, communications, grants, and community partnerships, each area led by someone who has spent their career in that space.
Together, our development team has raised over $50 million for nonprofits since 2018. That's not a team that dabbles. That's a team that knows what it's doing.
Explore what we offer
For Non-Profits:
Catalyzt Impact Sessions.
Small and midsized nonprofits often face limited time, small team capacity, and constant pressure to raise more money with fewer resources. Catalyzt Impact Sessions gives nonprofit leaders practical guidance, tools, and ongoing support to strengthen fundraising, improve marketing and communications, and build stronger grant strategies.
For Local Businesses:
Catalyzt Connect.
Local business owners want to help their community, but most do not have the time to sort through nonprofit requests or build real partnerships. Catalyzt makes this easy. We help business owners choose nonprofits that fit their values, and we handle the communication and coordination so giving back does not add extra work.
Who we are
Sean Tiernan, CFRE | Co-Founder
Sean has spent his career building the kind of donor relationships that actually last. As a Certified Fund Raising Executive, he brings both the credentials and the genuine belief that strategic philanthropy can change communities, not just fund them.
Adrianna Frelich | Co-Founder
Adri spent over a decade running high-stakes marketing campaigns in the corporate world before asking a different question: what if that same strategy served missions instead of margins? That question became Catalyzt.
Together, we bring the strategy of the corporate world and the heart of the nonprofit sector to organizations that are doing work worth growing.
Client Reviews
“Before working with Catalyzt, Rooted In was growing quickly but lacked the fundraising structure and strategy needed to support long-term growth. Their support helped bring more clarity, focus, and direction to our development efforts while helping us build a stronger foundation for the future.
What stood out most was that they truly cared. They took the time to understand our mission, our challenges, and where we want to go as an organization.”
Selena Darrow Founder & CEO
Rooted In
“Catalyzt helped us, SPIRITUS Ministries, move from broad fundraising efforts to a strategic donor relations approach that strengthened major donor engagement and long-term sustainability.
Before working with Catalyzt, we were focused primarily on fundraising activities. Catalyzt helped us build a clear donor relations strategy centered on relationships, vision, and long-term partnership.”
Eden Foord Founder & Executive Director
Spiritus Ministries
“Before partnering with the Catalyzt team, we didn’t have a structured fund development plan to help engage the community or communicate our mission. For the first time in 60 years, we now have a thoughtful, mission-driven strategy tailored specifically to our organization’s needs. We are deeply grateful to Catalyzt for their passion and commitment to making a meaningful impact on our organization.”
