ABOUT CATALYZE - UNLOCKED FUTURES
Launched in 2017, New Profit’s Unlocked Futures aims to increase visibility, remove barriers to capital, and build community with social entrepreneurs and communities who have been directly impacted by the American legal system. These barriers—including lack of access to formal job training, limited housing options, and hiring restrictions due to criminal records—leave 60 percent of formerly incarcerated individuals unemployed one year after their release, contributing to the recidivism cycle that damages so many communities. Unlocked Futures aims to open the opportunity equation and remove barriers to entrepreneurship for people whose experience with the American legal system provides them with unmatched expertise and insight into how we build alternatives to incarceration and improve the current system.

In 2024, Unlocked Futures is seeking to invest in 8 innovative leaders impacted by the American legal system. 

INVESTING AND CAPACITY BUILDING AT NEW PROFIT
New Profit stands shoulder-to-shoulder with social entrepreneurs in support of their vision, with a specific focus on helping them build the capacity of their organizations in four areas: 1) Impact 2) Equity & Proximity, 3) Adaptive Leadership, and 4) Sustainability. 

Unlocked Futures offers a synergistic support model to work with and towards the needs of each organization, creating value across several dimensions. This includes a peer learning community in each cohort, 1:1 leadership development support for the social entrepreneur, consultations with external content experts, and New Profit’s tested capacity building framework and tools, as well as $100,000 in unrestricted support.
