Koha

Catalyst Trust is run totally by a small team of volunteers who are passionate about bringing mind-stimulating events to our community. To make sure our events are accessible for everyone, we do not charge a membership fee and just ask for a koha (suggested minimum $5) at the door, to help defray costs.

This “lean and mean unfunded machine” model does limit what we can offer in terms of events, as it does not allow funding to get speakers here or accommodate them.  Most of our events run on kindness and collaboration.

SO… If you would like to help us have the flexibility to fund and organise a broader range of  events for our community, below are some opportunities:

If you would like to make a donation, or pay a belated koha, our bank account is:

03 – 1355 – 0800845 – 00

If you would like to talk with us about other ways to contribute – through anything from offers of accommodation or speakers to ideas for events, please get in touch with us.

In anticipation, thank you.

Cheers,

The Catalyst Trust team
