About Us
Our Philanthropic Purpose
Philanthropy means ‘love of humankind.’
Causability expands on this by giving people the ability to share their love for causes.
At its core, Causability is about fostering a true community—a shared commitment to creating meaningful change.
Founded in 2021, Causability is a grant-making organization dedicated to supporting a unique kind of activist—the Creator activist, or creative change-maker.
Creator activists don’t just educate; they champion cause-driven projects in their communities, making a tangible commitment by working for, on, and with the causes they support.
At Causability, we focus on impact—not just the causes themselves, but their real-world effects. We share the stories behind each initiative, highlighting how they uplift communities and ensuring supporters see the tangible results of their contributions.
Through Creator Grants, we empower creatives and nonprofits to collaborate on projects that drive sustainable, meaningful change. These grants provide not only funding but also ongoing support from concept to completion, ensuring each project leaves a lasting impact.
What Makes Us Different from Other Nonprofits?
At Causability, we stand out from other nonprofits through our unique focus on empowering local creators and their community-driven initiatives.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Creator-Centric Approach:
Unlike many nonprofits that focus on providing direct services, we prioritize empowering individuals—the creators—who are passionate about making a difference in their communities. We believe that by supporting the visionaries and change-makers at the grassroots level, we can create a broader and more sustainable impact
Flexible Support for Diverse Causes:
We don’t limit our support to specific causes or issues. Instead, we recognize the diverse needs of communities and offer flexible grants that empower creators to address the unique challenges they see in their own neighborhoods. This approach allows for a wide range of creative and impactful projects to come to life.
Commitment to Local Impact:
Our focus is on local solutions for local problems. By investing in community-driven initiatives, we ensure that the impact of our work is deeply rooted in and directly benefits the communities we serve. This localized approach leads to more meaningful and lasting change.
Collaborative Network:
We actively foster a collaborative network of creators, supporters, and communities. By connecting like-minded individuals and organizations, we amplify the impact of each project and create opportunities for shared learning and growth. This network helps sustain the momentum of change beyond individual grants.
Empowerment Through Accessibility:
We are dedicated to making our resources accessible to all creators, regardless of their background or experience. Our application process is straightforward and inclusive, ensuring that everyone with a passion for positive change has the opportunity to bring their ideas to life.
Sustained Support and Mentorship:
Beyond financial grants, we offer ongoing support and mentorship to our creators. We are invested in their success and provide the tools, guidance, and connections needed to help them overcome challenges and maximize their impact.
Transparent and Community-Driven:
Transparency and accountability are at the core of what we do. We actively involve our community in decision-making processes and ensure that our operations are open and clear, building trust and engagement among our supporters and beneficiaries.
Our Story
As a creator, I understand the challenge of balancing a passion for community impact with the need to make a living. In 2019, I founded Art for Your Cause to ensure artists receive fair compensation while supporting causes they care about. In 2025, driven by my commitment to personal and planetary well-being, we launched Shakti Creative Wellness Center, a space dedicated to creativity, and transformation.
As a donor committed to making the world a better place, I also know how difficult it can be to find causes that operate with integrity and transparency. I envisioned a platform where genuine changemakers could bring meaningful initiatives to life—but I couldn’t find one.
This led me to ask:
- How can creatives who want to help others but don’t know how make a real impact?
- What’s the most effective way to uplift local communities through creativity?
- How do we empower creators to improve their communities without sacrificing their livelihoods?
- How can donors have full transparency about where their contributions go and who they’re helping?
Through Causability, we’ve tackled these challenges head-on, empowering creators to drive real change in their communities. But to fully realize our mission, we need board members, grant writers, volunteers, and donors who share our vision.
If Causability’s mission resonates with you, let’s connect and make a difference together!
