The Harvard Graduate Council (HGC) has established a “HGC Catalyst Fund” that provides financial
support to Harvard graduate school organizations that help promote cross-program interaction and strengthens
the “One Harvard” philosophy. There are two types of funding available:

1. “Fast-track” funding: a streamlined funding process for requests up to $500.
2.  Large event funding: a more detailed funding process designed for larger events. The funding maximum on these requests is $2,500.

Disclaimer:

The One Harvard Catalyst Fund was offered by the Office of the Provost as a pilot program. It was disbursed in Spring 2020  and a diverse group of organizations from all 12 graduate and professional schools have been the beneificiaries. As of Spring 2022, the One Harvard Catalyst Fund has been exhausted and depleted in entirety.

The Harvard Graduate Council, HGC, submitted an Impact Report seeking replenishment, at the conclusion of the Fall 2022 semester, outline the success and continued demand for the One Harvard Catalyst Fund. The report is still under review by the Office of the Provost. We will update the status as soon as we are informed. Thank you for your patience.

Please contact the HGC Funding Committee at finance@hgc.harvard.edu with any further questions on the HGC
funding process and policies.
