About Changing The Present

We help nonprofits and schools capture some of the $450 billion Americans spend each year on birthday, wedding, and holiday presents.

 

We do that by making the experience of a donation, which you give in a friend's name, feel like a rewarding present and an appealing alternative to buying yet more "stuff." We provide:

  • tangible charitable gifts (preserve an acre of the rain forest, fund an hour of cancer research, etc.)
  • personalized printed greeting cards
  • wish lists and registries
  • gift cards, etc.

This slideshow provides an overview of our program.

Imagine the impact we can make together as more and more people adopt this more meaningful type of giving!

This is Prestigious and Competitive

We seek undergrad and graduate students who:

  • are enrolled in a college or university.
  • have an outstanding academic record and a proven history of leadership
  • are active and involved in activities on campus and/or the surrounding community.
  • commit to at least four hours per week for the summer or for the full academic year. (If you can spend at least ten hours per week, please see our opportunities for interns and volunteers).

What You Will Do

Promote awareness of and participation in Changing The Present among students, faculty, and student organizations, while also promoting the concept of donations as a meaningful alternative to traditional presents. You will:

  • use social media, existing communications channels (the school newspaper, newsletters, etc.), flyers, and more to grow awareness of our program
  • seek support from student influencers
  • encourage student government, clubs, teams, residence halls, Greek life, and other organizations.to create charitable fundraising pages on the site, which help them raise more money and recognize them for all of their philanthropy
  • collaborate with school departments, such as the center for community engagement
  • encourage students to create profile pages and charitable wish lists or registries 
  • start a Changing The Present club at your school (founding an organization looks great on a resume)
  • invite local nonprofits and schools to register, so they can capture new funding.

 

Guidance and a Leadership Role

We will provide detailed instructions, message templates, downloadable flyers, digital graphics, and other marketing assets for your use. You will certainly have more ideas, which we welcome and encourage you to share with the other interns.

A Community of Campus Ambassadors at Your College

We will have multiple Campus Ambassadors at each school, and we will provide an online community for you to connect with one another, as well as with Ambassadors at other schools. That will let you collaborate, share tips, and celebrate your successes.

Other Opportunities with Changing The Present

We have a wide range of other internship and volunteer roles, including:
