Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds Catalyst Funds will be awarded competitively to fuel LFA's alumni's ability to stay in their community and activate transformational change. As such, LFA welcomes proposals that help alumni pursue this vision. It is not likely that all alumni will need or take advantage of this opportunity. The Catalyst Fund is a resource to access when it offers catalytic potential for an alum's ability to live into the LFA mission. Time Horizon: Alumni can apply to the Catalyst Fund for up to 2 years after the Fellowship. Maximum Funding: The maximum amount of funding that may be requested is $5,000 for Alumni who have served time before 2022. - Alumni from cohorts 2022 and beyond are eligible to apply for a maximum of $2,500 - Alumni may apply for multiple rounds of funding. Still, no alumni will receive more than the maximum amount they're eligible for (i.e., if you write an application for and receive $2,500 of funding for one initiative, you would only be eligible to apply for a maximum of $2,500 for another initiative).
