Imagine if wealth and abundance were redefined so that the economy supports all people and the planet? For many, this is already happening. People and organizations are coming together in new ways to redefine economic models beyond dominant forms of capitalism, that prioritize collective wellbeing and mutual support. They include conservation arrangements that create social, economic, and ecological benefits for people and planet, worker-owned enterprises, or investments in the care economy.

MakeWay helps link and amplify initiatives that promote fair economies and support the wellbeing of the many instead of a wealthy few.

We work with partners to:

Support the development of fair economic models at a community scale.
Amplify strategies advancing conservation-based economies, where both nature and communities thrive.
Facilitate sustainable conservation financing for Indigenous stewardship of Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs).
Evolve MakeWay’s impact investment strategy to increase positive impacts of investments, alongside more transparency and shareholder advocacy.
