About Us

Vision We envision a committed, engaged, and informed generation of young adults who are solving critical community challenges through philanthropy.     Mission Change for Change educates, supports, and mobilizes a generation of young adult leaders to solve critical community challenges through philanthropy. Through a national Chapter network, Change for Change empowers young adults to pool individual donations, demonstrating the collective power of small change to create big changes. Change for Change’s National Office provides its Chapters with support and resources to develop leadership skills, raise awareness about the importance of philanthropy, and implement successful fundraising programs, thus creating more informed and experienced young adult philanthropists who support non-profits solving critical community challenges.   Our Value Proposition Awareness of Philanthropy and Non-Profits: We raise awareness about the critical challenges community organizations are addressing by providing an orientation to charitable giving and the outcomes that can be achieved by effective non-profits   Accessibility to Giving: We offer easy and effective ways to participate in charitable giving by promoting informative and engaging events with peers   Impact: We develop informed and experienced donors by preparing and supporting youth and young adults to identify, analyze, and select beneficiary organizations that make significant gains in addressing community challenges, and then to monitor donation outcomes and impacts   Scale: We demonstrate the substantial impact of collective giving by facilitating and bringing to scale a nationwide Chapter network of youth and young adults who collect smaller donations to benefit community non-profits   Program - Change for Change Chapters Change for Change® is a national network of young adults who are improving communities through philanthropy.
