MakeWay has a proven track record partnering with place-based initiatives that are creating positive and lasting change for their local communities. Increasingly we see that many challenges and opportunities are shared by communities across the country. With a national presence and networks, MakeWay works to connect initiatives to share learnings, improve systems, get funding faster, and remove obstacles to accessing philanthropic support.

We build momentum for a ripple effect from community solutions out into larger systems change. That’s why we also work to advance public policy that creates more enabling environment for social, economic and ecological change to happen.
