This Page is Only for Interns on CPT

Our Mission

We are already making the world a better place. More and more of us are showing our love by making a meaningful charitable donation in a friend's name instead of buying yet more "stuff." Imagine how much good we could do with the $450 billion Americans spend each year on birthday, wedding, and holiday presents. Our nonprofit site makes it easy and rewarding.

A Very Efficient Nonprofit

Changing The Present is very cost-efficient, but we do have expenses, including the expense of operating this internship program.

CPT Interns are Providing Support

We now require CPT interns to make a $75 monthly payment. They make the first payment when we accept them, and then each month after that on the anniversary of their offer letter's effective date. That comes out to about $2.50 per day, which all our interns explained that even someone on a tight budget will find very reasonable. In fact, we have not had any applicants suggest that it was anything less than a great bargain. We hope you agree.

Tax-Deductible

This is a payment and you are getting the benefits of an internship, so you will not be able to claim this as a tax-deductible donation, notwithstanding the language on the receipt. Only 17% of American taxpayers itemize their expenses, and the monthly payment amount is low, so that is probably not significant to you.

We Made it Easy

Just click the button labeled, "Add to Cart," and checkout. Then return to contribute on the anniversary date of your offer letter each month you are here. (Please add a reminder to your calendar.)

Thank you!
