At MakeWay, we take an active, bottom-up approach to philanthropy and invite our partners to join us in a growing movement towards trust-based philanthropy. We break down traditional methods to empower local leaders. We build deep and meaningful relationships with communities, we listen and lead from behind to address challenges and realize solutions.
Changemakers come in all forms; from social change leaders to grassroots initiatives, social entrepreneurs, and communities. MakeWay partners with leaders who are on the ground, moving from vision to impact. Sometimes, we dot the i’s and cross the t’s so changemakers are free to focus on their mission. Other times, we provide funding so initiatives can accelerate their impact. There are so many different ways we offer support to changemakers.

MakeWay offers expertise and deep relationships with communities and local leaders to help expand their philanthropy in new ways. We also provide foundations with custom solutions ranging from advisory services to program design, delivery, and impact measurement.
