We execute high impact real estate development projects in Northern Kentucky’s River Cities by connecting people, place, and product with capital and technical expertise. Our privately funded, not-for-profit company is a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) certified by the U.S. Department of Treasury. As a CDFI, we bring non-traditional growth capital to communities in need of thoughtful investment in underutilized sites and buildings.

The Catalytic Fund provides financial investments and real estate transaction structuring services to developers and communities undertaking urban revitalization projects. We also lead vibrancy initiatives designed to attract new residents and businesses, as well as improve quality of life and place for existing community members.
