Make With funds artists and creative projects that strengthen communities and inspire real change.
We believe creativity has the power to solve real problems, build connection, and shape a better world. That's why we invest in the people and ideas that turn their creativity into community impact.
Make With funds artists, makers, and creative thinkers whose projects bring people together, strengthen neighborhoods, and inspire lasting change.
Make With is a nonprofit organization that believes creativity is more than self-expression; it's a powerful force for good. We support artists and creatives who are using their talents to address real community needs, spark conversations, and create lasting impact.
We fund creative projects that solve community problems. That could be a mural, a film, a workshop, a public experience, a software app, or something entirely new. We intentionally keep the definition broad so the best idea can take the form it needs.
A small, committed group of makers, supporters, and community builders.
