Pathmakers Foundation Strategy:
Our organizational identity:
We are a venture philanthropic foundation that partners with ministry leaders to drive community economic development.
What we are not:
We are not fee based coaches or consultants.
Who We Partner With:
We collaborate with Pathmakers—visionary leaders who are redefining possibilities through innovative ideas, models, and collaborations.
Our Approach:
Once identified as a Pathmaker, we engage directly with you, as a foundation grantee and only in a selective case by case basis a fee-based advisory services. We work closely with you to tackle challenges at the ground level, aligned with your strategic direction.
Our Vision:
We aim to discover, fund, and walk with leaders who create effective, self-funded organizations, revitalizing strategic and marginalized communities one zip-code at a time.
What This Means:
We don't impose our vision on you; instead, we offer actionable solutions and strategies to support you in achieving your mission.
This means you are tackling a problem in your community by collaborating with local organizations, businesses, government, and educational institutions to drive healing. You raise and allocate funds, engage in real estate transactions, and launch ministries and businesses to create lasting transformation. We partner with you for the long haul, injecting capital into your ministry to help you achieve a 3x to 5x multiplier on your economic impact.
Our Methodology:
We employ a hybrid approach that integrates public theology, design thinking, innovative legal structures, liberal economics, and practical business tools to develop robust economic engines and diverse revenue streams.
This ensures that:
a) You are deeply embedded within the community,
b) You are not reliant on a single income source, and
c) You can remain focused on your mission!
