Commit2Change

What Commit2Change does

Commit2Change (legal entity Commit-2-Change, Inc.) is a US-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2009, headquartered in Tuckahoe, New York, and operating direct-service educational programs for at-risk girls in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. The organization serves approximately 3,500 active beneficiaries through partnerships with 13+ local NGOs and government schools, and has supported more than 10,000 girls cumulatively since founding. Its programmatic model follows a three-stage framework of Access, Elevation, and Agency, addressing educational enrollment, skill development, and transition to economic independence.

The organization's core technology and curriculum stack comprises several integrated programs: TechLab/STEMLab delivers hands-on computer science, robotics, coding (Scratch), web development, and AI fundamentals; Vedic Mathematics teaches ancient Indian calculation techniques; the Spoken English Program combines activity-based learning with audio-visual technology; Life Skills Training develops the 4Cs (Confidence, Creativity, Communication, Critical Thinking); and a Counseling Program is delivered by licensed child therapists. Supplementary offerings include AI Literacy Workshops, Financial Literacy Workshops, Cyberbullying/Digital Safety Workshops, and a Fellowship Program supporting higher education and workforce placement. C2C's tutors are 100% certified in the NCERT-Google for Education AI program, providing third-party validation of instructional quality.

Commit2Change generates no product or service revenue. It is funded entirely through individual donations (including Facebook fundraisers), corporate sponsorships, and grants from foundations — disclosed major funders include the Guru Krupa Foundation, Triveni Turbines, NTPC India, and Celegence. The organization distributes programs through its NGO Partner Network and government school partnerships rather than direct sales channels. Its go-to-market motion is community-led: identification of at-risk girls is conducted through partner institutions, programs are delivered by C2C-employed onsite tutors and remote teachers at partner facilities, and fundraising is conducted through the website, events, email newsletters, and social media. The organization holds Candid Platinum Transparency Seals in 2024, 2025, and 2026.
