Choose Your Focus
Focus on K-12 Education (or any type of education, e.g, STEM, Music, Art, Early-Childhood, Special Education, etc.).
We also have roles for those interested in any charitable cause, ethnic group, religious community or country you care about, including hunger, veterans, animals, education, cancer, sexual abuse, mental health, etc.
Unpaid / Possible Credit
We offer a valuable experience. We are a nonprofit, and so:
- This is an unpaid position.
- It is eligible for credit and for community service hours at many schools and universities.
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 (provide books for children, fund cataract surgery to restore a blind person's eyesight, etc.)
- personalized printed greeting cards
- wish lists and registries
- gift cards, etc.
This slideshow shows how it works.
Imagine the impact we can make together as more and more people adopt this more meaningful type of giving!
