It’s that time of year again! Your favorite convention for world improvement coalitions that affect change in the global heart landscape of our society’s infrastructure and the modern zeitgeist is here. At CHANGEORG™, we are dedicated to bringing you the coolest, most elite and on-brand charities of 2019.
Our CHANGEGUIDE™ is broken up into the following categories: Aid Abroad, Domestic Aid and Celebrity Aid, so if you’re looking for attention, feel free to skip to Celebrity Aid.
For our financial fans, consider giving directly to CHANGEORG™! We use your generous donations to fund the CHANGECON™ fundraiser as well as our weekly social gatherings at local country clubs to predict changes in trends and brainstorm ways to motivate the world.
And don’t forget, our subscription upgrade includes a livestream option, as well as a “candid” picture of you smiling at a child. Upgrade to the next highest subscription tier and we’ll send you home with our CHANGEPURSE™, which includes luxury items such as a 24-karat gold copy of “Atlas Shrugged” and a silk pillow with “I’m a good person” stitched into it.
Now go make some CHANGE™. (If you need to break any $1,000 bills for local fun, feel free* to use our CHANGE™ ATMs)!
