What Is Momentum Makers
Momentum Makers is a youth-led nonprofit founded on a simple belief — knowledge can travel farther than money.
​
We exist to turn the earned success and expertise of professionals into opportunity for students with exceptional potential in under-resourced communities.
Instead of asking for donations, we ask for something far more powerful — your expertise, your time, and your experience.
How It Works
At the core of Momentum Makers is a three-part ecosystem that converts professional knowledge into educational impact:
-
Professionals share their expertise.
Experienced professionals volunteer a few hours of their time each month — offering guidance, insights, or services through advisory sessions, workshops, and consulting engagements. -
Student volunteers make it scalable.
A team of student volunteers from U.S. high schools and universities partners with these professionals to package, promote, and manage their expertise.
They help turn expert knowledge into articles, courses, and consulting offerings that can reach companies and individuals willing to pay for real-world insight. -
Knowledge becomes funding.
The income generated from those engagements goes directly into the Momentum Makers Fund, which supports high-potential students in under-resourced regions — starting in Gujarat, India, and expanding globally through trusted local partners.
Every rupee or dollar earned through shared knowledge is used to fund scholarships, mentorship, and essential educational resources — not operations, marketing, or overhead.
All operating costs are covered separately by the Board of Directors to maintain full transparency and trust.
​
Who We Help
Momentum Makers supports a select group of students who show both exceptional ability and community-minded ambition — young people who have the potential to create generational uplift within their families and neighborhoods.
Each student is carefully identified through school networks, teacher recommendations, and local community partners who understand the ground reality.
Our focus is depth over scale: we prefer to change a few lives meaningfully rather than many lives superficially.
