The old playbook for fighting antisemitism was not working. That is why we are choosing to rewrite it.
Find · Fund · Scale
Overview
AJCatalyst Lab is building a new model — one designed to find, fund, mentor and scale high-impact ideas that confront antisemitism and empower the next generation of Jewish leadership.
Built with startup-style discipline, AJCatalyst Lab is structured around a venture model that invests in innovation, leadership, measurable impact, and scalable solutions for a rapidly changing world.
The American Jewish Congress has spent more than a century defending Jewish rights at home and abroad. Today, that mission requires new methods, new voices, and new forms of engagement. The AJCatalyst Lab is our answer to that challenge.
