About

Access45 was founded to close the gap between potential and access. We believe that leadership development shouldn't be a luxury, and that mission-driven people deserve support in their development.

Inspired by the 45th parallel that cuts through Oregon — halfway between the equator and the North Pole — and the 45-degree angle that marks a decisive, upward climb, Access45 is a response to the quiet needs of resilient leaders who rarely receive outside investment.

Our work is grounded in equity, sustainability, and the belief that change starts with people — and is sustained by relationships. We meet people where they are, offer support that fits their context, and stay close enough to adapt as they grow.

What We Fund

We fund coaching, training, and facilitation support for:

  • Nonprofit leaders and staff

  • Small business owners and entrepreneurs

  • Mission-driven teams or collectives

Types of support include:

  • Executive and leadership coaching (individual and group)

  • Strategic planning retreats or facilitated sessions

  • Team development workshops

  • Conflict navigation, burnout recovery, or resilience support

Access45 support is flexible, human-centered, and tailored to the moment. Whether you're navigating a new role, scaling a project, facing burnout, or clarifying your next move — we make sure cost isn’t the reason you miss the support you need.
