About Change for Change Grants

Change for Change has launched a unique and exciting new program to expand our network of charitably-minded young adults engaged in philanthropy!

Change for Change is now accepting applications for our Change for Change Grant Program.  We accept applications on a rolling basis.

The goal of the Change for Change Grant Program is to empower young generations to help make a difference. To do this, Change for Change wants to recognize the bright, motivated and charitable young people who have the vision and follow-through to make a meaningful difference in their local communities. In other words…We are looking for Changemakers!

How it Works

The Change for Change Grant Program will support charitable fundraising ideas submitted by college students with up to $1,000 grants.  Students can submit detailed plans for a fundraising initiative along with a faculty/staff letter of recommendation. A selection committee will choose recipients on a rolling basis who will receive seed funding of up to $1,000 and access to Change for Change resources.  All applicants must read and agree to the Terms and Conditions.
