The Heart Behind People Not Profit

People Not Profit was created from a simple belief that real change starts with people. We’ve seen how many communities struggle to access fair funding and opportunities, even though they’re full of creativity, culture, and potential. People Not Profit exists to change that by making sure local voices are heard, supported, and celebrated.

Our Founder

People Not Profit was founded on the belief that real leadership begins with people. Our founder was driven by a desire to challenge inequality and create fair opportunities for everyone, no matter their background. The goal has always been to show that progress starts from the ground up — by giving communities the power, respect, and resources they deserve.

This same vision drives everything we do. People Not Profit is not just about funding or events; it’s about rebuilding trust, creating opportunity, and proving that a fairer society is possible when people come together.

Our Vision

Our vision is to build a future where every person and every community can thrive on their own terms. We want to create spaces where people are seen, heard, and valued, where culture is celebrated, and where equality becomes a lived reality rather than an idea.

What We Do

We focus on building partnerships, creating opportunities, and reinvesting back into the community. This includes supporting cultural events, connecting with local businesses, and helping grassroots projects access the resources they need to make a lasting difference.

Our Values: PEOPLE

Our values are built around the word PEOPLE, because that is who everything we do is for and about.

Looking Ahead
