Change

What Change does

Change serves three primary customer segments: (1) companies running cause marketing programs such as ecommerce brands, retailers, transportation platforms, and consumer brands seeking round-up or percent-of-purchase donation flows (logos include Lyft, Torani, Hasbro, Lokai, Snappy, Topicals); (2) professional fundraisers and charitable fundraising platforms including auction, sweepstakes, and crowdfunding operators (Charitybuzz, Omaze, Bonfire, DailyKarma); and (3) law firms and legal service providers serving nonprofits and CCV clients (Copilevitz Lam & Raney, Cogency Global, Perlman + Perlman). The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales for large logos, a product-led self-serve motion via a Shopify app and developer documentation, and channel distribution through Blackbaud's Social Good Startup Program and ongoing partnership. Revenue is generated through platform/subscription fees (annual enterprise contracts), transaction/processing fees on donation volume, and professional services for compliance work. The company is venture-backed with approximately $5.75 million disclosed across a 2020 pre-seed and a July 2022 seed round co-led by Freestyle and NEA, and has 1-10 reported employees. Strategic partners include Blackbaud, Metaplex (Solana), Shopify, and a related 501(c)(3), Our Change Foundation.

Direct peers

• Givebutter: Free/affordable online fundraising platform for nonprofits with donation forms, events, and P2P campaigns. Competes for the same SMB and mid-market cause-marketing customers Change reaches via Shopify and self-serve.
• Funraise: Modern nonprofit fundraising platform offering donation forms, peer-to-peer, and CRM. Comparable to Change's charitable-fundraising-platform solution for the same nonprofit and platform customers.
• Benevity: Corporate giving and employee engagement platform used by large enterprises (e.g., Lyft, Nike, Google) for donation matching, volunteer, and grantmaking programs — directly competing with Change for the same Fortune 500 cause-marketing and Round Up budgets.
• CAF America: Donor-advised fund and grantmaking services provider handling cross-border giving and corporate philanthropy. Directly comparable to Our Change Foundation in the DAF/regranting layer of Change's stack.
• Fundraise Up: AI-optimized online donation platform for nonprofits, with checkout, recurring giving, and donor management. Direct competitor in the API-driven, enterprise-grade donation-processing category.
• PayPal Giving Fund: Charitable giving program operated by PayPal that routes donations to verified nonprofits. Competes with Change's DAF-based, multi-nonprofit payout model for the same merchant and consumer-giving flows.
• Bonterra (formerly Network for Good + Classy): Direct peer in donation processing and fundraising software for nonprofits and CSR teams. Competes head-to-head on the same enterprise and mid-market customers Change targets, with a more mature feature set and a larger installed base.

Broad incumbents

• Blackbaud: Dominant incumbent in nonprofit and social-good software (CRM, fundraising, finance). Both a distribution partner of Change (via the Social Good Startup Program) and a competitor that could bundle donation processing into its broader suite for the same enterprise customers.

Emerging players

• Double the Donation: Matching-gifts and corporate-giving platform for nonprofits and employers. Adjacent competitor for the corporate-giving and CSR workflows that Change is increasingly expanding into via Brex, Snappy, and Lyft-style integrations.
• The Giving Block: Crypto-donation infrastructure provider for nonprofits, similar in spirit to Change's web3 donation rails. Overlaps most directly with Change's Ethereum/Solana/Flow blockchain donation feature and the NFT-giving use case.
