Since its founding ten years ago, Catalyst Balkans has been committed to living up to its name by applying concepts of transformation and catalytic collaboration to its program activities, its external partnerships, and how we operate internally.
While founded by two experienced and strong-minded individuals, Aleksandra Vesić and Nathan Koeshall, Catalyst Balkans was built to be an engaged intermediary that complements and serves Western Balkans' philanthropy and nonprofit ecosystems. This implied that Catalyst Balkans recognized itself as needing to engage with its staff, stakeholders, and community in a way that would provide added value and increased know-how as the product of each interaction with Catalyst.
