The answer

It is permissible to call a creature a "maker" (صانع), because some of God's attributes and actions can be ascribed to a creature, but in a way that befits the creature's imperfection and inability. The making of a creature is limited and is not creation from nothingness. This is indicated by the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, Allah makes every maker and his making." Adding "making" (صناعة) to the future or life presents no issue, as it means taking the means to achieve what Allah has decreed, not creating from nothingness. Therefore, there is no harm in naming an association "Makers of the Future" (صناع المستقبل) or "Makers of Life" (صناع الحياة).
