Our Mission…Building Community Through Common Vision
The mission of Make An Impact Foundation is to promote the education
and well-being of children by identifying those in severe need (homeless,
poverty, etc.) as well as those with learning needs, emotional needs,
disabilities or disease and creating an opportunity to produce change in
their lives. Our vision at MAIF is to meet the needs of children by
identifying worthwhile projects and finding donor partners to help meet
each need.

Our Process…Breaking Down How We Go About Selecting Projects
Identify
• The first step of the process is identifying which projects have been
properly submitted and have enough donor support.
Evaluate
• After these projects are identified, they are evaluated by our Board of
Directors based on six, pre-determined criteria.
Fund
• Once a project passes the evaluation process, it moves into the
funding stage where donors can begin to contribute to its goals.

My Impact Fund is a philanthropic vehicle created to give
donors an effective way to submit projects they would like to
fund or help fund. Donors will submit their proposal for funding
and provide the initial donation. Once accepted and vetted the
My Impact Fund Project will be posted on the MAIF website and
others will be encouraged to give until the Project is fully
funded.

My Corporate Impact Fund was created to give corporations a
philanthropic outlet for their companies and employees using
their own brand identity without having to create their own
charitable foundation. Donors will establish their own corporate
fund at Make An Impact Foundation and choose projects they
wish to fund that align with the criteria of the MAIF mission. In
addition they may give to projects that are vetted and posted
for funding from My Impact Fund or My Playground Impact
Fund.

My Playground Impact Fund is another philanthropic vehicle
created to give donors an effective way to submit projects they
would like to fund or help fund. Donors will establish their own
individual playground fund at Make An Impact Foundation and
use the MAIF website for raising funds for their playground
project. Each project will be approved by MAIF prior to posting
for additional funding.

Current Projects – Bit of Hope Ranch
Bit of Hope Ranch is a place of refuge and therapy for hurting children and families. The NEED – to build 3 small sheds (12’x 16’) that will house the therapy horses in their natural environment. Having multiple, smaller sheds will keep horses from being bullied and allow constant access to hay and shelter. Sheds will be built to withstand storms and can be cleaned on a daily basis to prevent disease and poor hoof conditions.
