…let’s make it make cents.

What to Expect

MakeSumChange is a new change agency. Over the years we have have collaborated with creatives, government officials, corporate volunteers, athletes, brand professionals, and community activists to spark serious cultural change in our community. Let us tell you more. Our team is comprised of agencies that formally provide service and brand opportunities.

❋ Intentional Structure

We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

❋ Collaborative Energy

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

❋ Expert Facilitation

Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

❋ Service Based Opportunities

Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

❋ True Agency Support

Our team is comprised of two agencies for fine artists and entertainers, respectively. Over the years we have consistently provided brand opportunities and more for our ambassadors and artists. We are now able to ensure a direct pipeline to brokered opportunities that will elevate your creative career. Some opportunities are paid.

❋ A Supportive Space

Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.

Let's make this all make sense ya'll. We can't do all that we're doing by ourselves. We apply pressure year round and need like minded creative and influences to help spread the word or lend their time to volunteer. 

We can’t afford to pay everyone that joins the mission…considering our mission, we invite ambassadors and artists an opportunity to align with a design conscious effort. For years, we have proved ourselves to be tastemakers and we consistently align our community with brand forward opportunities.

Are you looking for ways to tap into the future and pay it forward?

MakeSumChange with Us.

See here for the tracks we offer. Some are for the love (unpaid) and for a select few talent, we are able to offer a lil change. Bear in mind, we dedicate the funds raised through Sneaker Ball exclusively to our FEATS programming. Our secondary goal is to elevate and financially support the artist community and emerging talent. In the future we will offer workshop for edification and personal development…prepping local talent for corporate opportunities. Bottom line — if you’re interested in paying it forward, if our messaging resonates — hit us up! We’re not a for profit, but we can make some real connections to be leveraged.
