1. I am a woman looking for career advice—can Catalyst help me?
   Catalyst works with corporations and professional firms, rather than individual women, to assure the advancement of women in the workplace. An exception is our Corporate Board Services group, which assists women from our member companies who are qualified for, and interested in, board appointments. (See the following question). However, the Catalyst website does list resources that offer career-related advice (networking, mentoring, entrepreneurship), as well as information about scholarships and grants, personal finance, and legal issues
2. Does Catalyst assist companies looking for women board directors—or women interested in serving on corporate boards?
   Yes. Our Corporate Board Services group provides referrals for companies, professional firms, and other organizations seeking qualified women board candidates. In addition, CBS works with women executives at Catalyst member organizations, providing assistance on positioning for board appointments.       
3. Is our company permitted to put Catalyst content, including the Catalyst logo, on our website?
   Click here for information about the use of Catalyst materials, including the Catalyst logo. A form is provided to request permission.                              
4. Does Catalyst offer grants?
   No, Catalyst does not offer grants. A list of resources for women seeking career-related advice appears on the Catalyst website. Included are organizations that may provide grant support.                                           
5. Where would I find data and research about women’s advancement and diversity and inclusion in global businesses?
   Browse Research & Knowledge for the information Catalyst offers on these subjects. You can narrow your search by filtering for specific topics, and by industry, geography, and publication date; you can also filter by the five different types of knowledge product that Catalyst publishes. Although some offerings are restricted to users affiliated with Catalyst member organizations, most can be downloaded free of charge by the public. In addition, most Research reports are available in print and may be purchased.                     
6. Whom do I contact for answers to my questions about women's advancement and related issues if I cannot find the information on the Catalyst website?
   If you are a visitor affiliated with a member company, a scholar, or an interested individual, visit the Ask Catalyst page under Services, and fill out the form. We will reply promptly with an answer. If you are a member of the media, visit our Newsroom for the appropriate contact.                              
7. My company is a member of Catalyst—what does that mean for me?
   As a user affiliated with a Catalyst member organization, you are able to access the rich array of Catalyst content that is restricted to member-affiliated users. If you haven’t already registered as an individual, do so here, or login using your user name and password. Visit the Membership Benefits page under Membership for a summary of these offerings. Then, throughout the site, look for the circled M, which indicates content restricted to member-affiliated users.
8. Where can I find information about programs that organizations have implemented to advance women and foster diversity and inclusion?
   Go to the Browse Research & Knowledge page under Research and Knowledge. Filter under Type for D&I Practices, and click on the D&I Practice that interests you. Each is a program, or “initiative,” implemented by a particular company. You will come to a page with an abstract of the program. Users affiliated with Catalyst member organizations can download the description of the program itself by clicking the “Download” button on that  page.                                                                                                 
9. May I purchase Catalyst’s Research reports and Tools?
   Catalyst Research reports published since 2004 are available in hardcopy and can be purchased on the website. Go to Browse Research & Knowledge for the specific title. The designation “Add to Cart” appears on the page, and you may click there to buy it. Titles published prior to 2004 may or may not be available in hardcopy; please contact Tracie Maloney to determine availability and to order. Research reports may be downloaded by the public at no charge. As for Tools, those designated Making Change are available for download only to member-affiliated visitors; however, hardcopies may be purchased by the public. Those published since 2004 may be purchased online. Other Tools are not available in hardcopy.
   
10. Can I add Catalyst updates to my RSS feed?
    Yes. You can add Catalyst in the News to your RSS reader to receive the latest listing of articles by leading media outlets that feature Catalyst or refer to our publications or events. You may also add Catalyst Press Releases; Catalyzing: The Catalyst Blog (written by Ilene H. Lang, President & Chief Executive Officer); Catalyst CanCon (written by Deborah Gillis, Vice President, North America); and the Catalyst Member Activities Planner (MAP), a calendar of upcoming and past events, as well as holidays of importance to diversity and inclusion.
    
11. Can Catalyst be described in a single paragraph?
    Yes. This statement appears on the inside front cover of Catalyst Research reports and serves as an excellent one-paragraph summary: Founded in 1962, Catalyst is the leading nonprofit membership organization working globally with businesses and the professions to build inclusive workplaces and expand opportunities for women and business. With offices in the United States, Canada, and Europe, and more than 400 preeminent corporations as members, Catalyst is the trusted resource for research, information, and advice about women at work. Catalyst annually honors exemplary organizational initiatives that promote women's advancement with the Catalyst Award.
