Creating Paths.
Changing Communities.
Pathmakers Foundation™ is a venture philanthropic foundation that works from the ground floor up and not the top down.
Our Vision is to discover, fund, and walk with leaders who create effective,
self-funded organizations,
revitalizing strategic and marginalized communities one zip-code at a time.
“The battle is won and lost with finances. We were reaching our community, but we weren't scaling fast enough. We're grateful to the Pathmakers Foundation and Jamé, he’s an economist for the church!
Charlie, Crystal and Jamé give us practical financial strategies to offset costs and help us attract major grant funders. I'm grateful to be a Pathmaker.”
Cheno Echevarria, Lead Pastor
Greater Church, Metro Atlanta, GA
“Pathmakers Foundation’s grant is helping me as a ministry leader to understand how best
to steward my service, and also how
to fortify our ministry’s financial
foundation for sustainable growth.”
Chuck Proudfit, President
At Work On Purpose, Cincinnati, OH
“The Pathmakers grant helped us to help
other business owners in fashion get
retail ready.
We were able to mentor 2 business
owners, in the Miami area, get their
presentation materials ready for
meetings with potential buyers.
This included standards for linesheets,
wholesale pricing structure and brand storytelling.
The two business owners have continued to call on us for periodic check-ins as they navigate their business journey.
Since being an official Pathmaker, we've also been able to mentor business owners in our church who generally want to grow or start their businesses.
We've told the story of our journey, including how we've gotten support from Pathmakers, and that has inspired others to go for what God has placed in their hearts to do in the marketplace.”
