  • Misión

    Empowering Products Change Lives. Uplift490 is all about products that help resource-limited people lift themselves up. We find, catalog, help improve, and help distribute affordable products for people and organizations who need them. If a product doesn't exist, we help create it!

    Acerca de

    Uplift490 Projects:

    • Cat490: A dynamic digital catalog, a collection of products, machines, tools, plans, and methods. It's updated by the people, communities, and organizations offering appropriate products.

    • The Give Bank(tm): Designers, makers, scientists, and other professionals pledge pro bono hours to work on product design and development as well as mentor those who want to learn.

    • Design490: Providing design principles and resources to entrepreneurial product designers. We seek to collaborate with design-centric teaching organizations, universities, and labs around the world.

    • Events490: DesignJams, meetups, maker spaces provide increasingly-critical in-person, human interaction. We support monthly and quarterly events and look to partner with maker spaces and fab labs.
    • Fund490: A future blind pool or community fund that can apply small funds throughout the product development process. Our partners here are microbanks and micro finance organizations promoting Cat490.
    • Future490: An open forum to discuss other project possibilities that align with Uplift490 and its Partner and Ally organizations, such as Village in a Box.
