Crafting Change

Crafting Change After five years of impact, Crafting Change has ended its nonprofit era and evolved into a community action group of dedicated volunteers continuing the work.

This page will now be inactive. Thank you for all your support! Imagine sewing a reusable menstrual pad that helps a middle school girl in rural Western Africa stay in school. Or crocheting a winter hat that warms the head of an unhoused man on LA’s Skid Row, or one fighting for freedom in Ukraine. Crafting Change is a 501(c)3 non-profit that matches a crafters love of crafting with tangible good

works for those in need. Crafters becoming activists-or ‘craftivists.’ The ultimate matchmaker~Crafting Change takes the items lovingly crafted by volunteers and delivers them to well vetted organizations helping those in need. Every item crafted ends up in the hands-or on the heads-of someone who needs it. Changing lives by crafting. Crafting Change was born out of the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, when crafters rose to meet the challenge to sew masks desperately needed by healthcare workers and other frontline heroes. Recognizing the power and passion of the crafter, Crafting Change has built a model to harness this power and tangibly impact the lives of those in need. Crafting Change has delivered over 117,000 items made by craftivists in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Canada to organizations in every state, and internationally to Canada, Ghana and Ukraine. If it can be made, it can bring joy, comfort, or support to someone in need.

What started as a simple idea—craft for a cause you care about—became something extraordinary.

After five years of impact, Crafting Change has ended its nonprofit era and evolved into a community action group of dedicated volunteers continuing the work together.

Today we were able to visit with our 2 Colorado partners! We took lunch to the staff at the Greeley Planned Parenthood clinic and they let us know how much the items you craft for them are appreciated!

Then we went to meet with Emily at Grace Upon Grace Project! We got a great tour of what they do!

They are both serving critical needs in the Northern Colorado area and we couldn’t be prouder to be partners!

📣 Welcome to the Board, Mackenzie Bathauer! 🧵💜

We’re so excited to welcome Mackenzie Bathauer to the Crafting Change Executive Board!

Mackenzie brings years of experience in nonprofit work, community engagement, and fundraising—most recently at Planned Parenthood, where she’s focused on healthcare equity and LGBTQ+ rights. She’s a powerful advocate for marginalized and vulnerable communities and shares our belief in the power of creativity as a force for connection and healing.

“I’ve always loved the intention and care behind handmade things... every stitch—like every act of service—can make a difference.”

We’re thrilled Mackenzie has chosen to bring her passion and purpose to Crafting Change’s leadership team. Welcome to the family, Mackenzie!
