What WeTheChange does

WeTheChange is a nonprofit membership community, founded in 2019 and fiscally sponsored by Social Good Fund (a 501(c)(3)), that convenes women and nonbinary leaders of Certified B Corporations, B Corp-curious companies, and other purpose-driven businesses. The organization operates a four-tier membership model: Signatory (free), Collaborator ($250/year), Changemaker ($500/year), and Catalyst ($1,000/year), with all tiers billed annually and offering graduated levels of directory visibility, peer pairing, retreat discounts, and speaking opportunities. Membership is complemented by monthly online meetings (open to non-members for $25), an annual in-person retreat, advocacy campaigns including the Equal Pay Pledge and a Strengthening Democracy initiative, and a policy partnership with the American Sustainable Business Network (ASBN) formalized in September 2025.

The underlying technology is intentionally minimal: WeTheChange does not build or operate proprietary software, relying instead on a website (wethechange.net), a 24/7 online community forum, FlipCause for event ticketing, and Social Good Fund for payment processing and fiscal sponsorship. This makes the organization a community-and-events platform rather than a technology product, with go-to-market driven by peer referrals within the B Corp ecosystem, B Corp event presence (e.g., Champions Retreat, BLD Southeast), earned media through member spotlights, and email newsletters. As of 2025, the leadership team comprises roughly 10 part-time staff supported by a volunteer Leadership Circle, and the membership directory lists 50+ companies alongside 100+ founding signatories from the May 2019 declaration.

Revenue is generated through membership dues, event fees, donations, and the Sharon Rowe Magic Fund sponsored-membership program, with no equity or venture funding involved. The organization is exploring adjacent offerings such as the Signatory Investment Fund pilot, a loan program targeting capital gaps for women-owned businesses. Geographic footprint is concentrated in North America (USA), though member companies span 31 US states and two Canadian provinces, and the founding vision references a global economy.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• American Sustainable Business Network (ASBN)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 September 2025WeTheChange formed a partnership with ASBN in September 2025 to expand advocacy opportunities for members. Through this partnership, WTC members receive 15% off ASBN's Annual Conference registration, free access to two members-only Policy Forums each year, and participation in quarterly Amplifier Calls for policy insights and advocacy campaign updates. The partnership amplifies WTC's collective voice on sustainable business policy.
• Business for AmericaminorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2024WTC collaborated with Business for America in 2024 to develop a five-part series focused on how businesses could support democracy, and also partnered with Reclaim Our Vote to reach out to low-turnout voters. These collaborations were part of WTC's Strengthening Democracy advocacy campaign.

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• Female Founders Fund (community): Mission-driven venture fund and community supporting women and nonbinary founders. Comparable in serving women/nonbinary founders with mission-driven businesses, though FFF is primarily an investment vehicle rather than a peer-membership organization.
• American Sustainable Business Network (ASBN): Coalition of sustainable businesses that runs policy advocacy, conferences, and Amplifier Calls — a strategic partner to WTC since September 2025. Comparable as an adjacent advocacy/coalition organization in the sustainable-business space, though broader in scope.

Direct peers

• Ellevate Network: Membership-based community for professional women offering circles, events, and mentorship. Directly comparable as a paid, tiered women's professional network; differs in that Ellevate is broader and not B Corp-specific.
• HeyMama: Membership community for working mothers in leadership, offering networking, events, and content. Comparable as a paid membership community targeting women leaders, though with a different persona (mothers) and broader industry scope.
• B Local / B Corp Champions community groups: Regional volunteer-led B Corp community chapters (B Locals, Champions) that host events and peer connections inside the B Corp movement. Most directly comparable as community-based organizing within the B Corp ecosystem, overlapping with WTC's distribution channels and audience.
• Net Impact: Membership community for students and professionals pursuing careers in social and environmental impact. Comparable as a purpose-driven business community, though Net Impact is broader (students + professionals) and not women-specific.
• Chief: Private membership network for senior women executives (typically VP+) with peer groups, events, and a leadership content platform. Comparable tiered paid-membership community for high-achieving women leaders, though aimed at executives rather than founders.
• Lean In Circles (Lean In): Small peer-group model for women supporting each other's professional growth, organized via Lean In's platform. Closely comparable in peer-circle model, though Lean In is free and not B Corp-aligned.
• Women Presidents' Organization (WPO): Peer advisory organization for women business owners running $2M+ companies, organized into chapter-based groups. Closely comparable as a peer-group model for women entrepreneurs, but WPO is chapter-driven rather than B-Corp-niche.

Broad incumbents

• B Lab (B Corp Movement): The certifying body and global network behind Certified B Corporations. WTC sits inside this ecosystem and rides B Lab's events and credibility; B Lab itself does not run a women-leader-specific community but its Champions retreats and standards shape WTC's audience.
