Catalytic Capital, a Force Multiplier for Community Health
In rural and underserved communities, a single dollar of grant or tax credit doesn’t just fund a line item—it unlocks an entire project.
$1 of catalytic capital (e.g., a NMTC allocation or foundation grant) often attracts $5–10+ in total investment through leverage, matching, and layered financing.
This is how rural hospitals get built. Behavioral health centers open. Primary care expands. But it only works when we think beyond traditional philanthropy—and build financial structures where public, private, and mission-aligned dollars actually work together.
At High Point, we design deals where a grant doesn’t end the story—it starts it.
Why Catalytic Capital Matters in Rural Health Funding
De-risks early-stage projects such as establishing new rural clinics or behavioral health hubs
Breaks through financing barriers, unlocking debt, equity, and lease structures
Amplifies impact—every catalytic dollar mobilizes multiples in total capital
