It's A Bold Move.

ChangeMakers is ready to make a bold move by inviting skilled, talented, and community-minded people to lend their expertise in a BOLD way to create BOLD change. 

Our community development focus is on community facility development and financial support. Organizations in our community provide valuable substance abuse treatment, innovative community programs, youth development services, and food for the hungry.  Many organizations struggle to raise program and facility funds.  Each organization competes against another, making the same missteps along the way while spending significant amounts of money on fundraising and design consultants.
