HEALTHY ORGANIZATIONS.
HEALTHY LEADERS
What we do.
Catalyst exists so your charity can be a Healthy Organization with Healthy Leaders. Our Consulting, Coaching, Funding, and Events exist so that you can have greater impact towards your purpose. And we love it!
Since our beginnings in 2008 we have been intentionally learning how we can best serve charity leaders to be more effective at accomplishing meaningful results, while thriving in their roles. We want you to be part of our learning.
Have a look around. We recommend starting with About Us to hear our story. Then explore our Leadership Services and Insights to see how we can be most useful to you now.
Leading charities to meaningful impact is tough.
We can help.
Healthy Leaders
Leadership is hard, but it should also be fulfilling, motivating, and inspiring. Discouragement and burn out don't have to happen. Let's equip you to thrive as a long term leader.
Healthy Teams
Employees and volunteers who are highly motivated, fully engaged, and effectively managed bring their best to the organization and the rest of their lives. We can help make it happen.
Healthy Impact
Charities should get results. We can help you identify and overcome the limiting factors that are keeping you from the most meaningful outcomes.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Chris Wignall
Chris Wignall is fascinated by how people and organizations work (or don’t). As the Executive Director of Catalyst Foundation he comes alongside charity leaders to help them lead more effectively and enhance the impact of their organizations. Past work as a pastor, church planter, camp director, corporate trainer, whitewater kayak instructor, and clown all inform his approach.
Chris lives beside a beautiful waterfall in Greensville, Ontario with his wife and three children, spending as much time running, paddling, and exploring as they can; and he rarely turns down Coke, chicken wings, or chocolate fudge.
