About Rf Catalytic Capital
Rf Catalytic Capital Inc uses large, often million-dollar grants to move capital quickly into pandemic preparedness, clean energy, and climate implementation work. Two of its biggest recent awards went to Ihealth Labs Inc for equitable access to COVID-19 rapid test kits, including a $15,168,400 grant in 2023 and another $7,418,227 grant in 2024. That same scale shows up in its support for the World Bank, which received $15,000,000 in 2023 for a data governance framework for pandemic prevention and another $15,000,000 in 2025 for technical assistance. The foundation also backs institutions translating federal climate policy into practice, including state, tribal, and local partners working on implementation, capacity building, and public engagement. Its portfolio includes health, energy, food, finance and financial systems, and climate, with many grants aimed at helping organizations carry out federal and state programs rather than funding individuals. Recent awards also show activity in clean energy access, appliance affordability, and work in developing and emerging markets such as Nigeria and Myanmar.
