Intern or Volunteer with Changing The Present to Help Veterans and Make a Difference!
About Changing The Present
The New York Times called us an " Amazon.com of the nonprofit world."
ChangingThePresent.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We help channel to nonprofits some of the $450 billion Americans spend each year on birthday, holiday, and other gifts. We do that by making the experience of a donation, given in a friend’s name, feel like a great gift and a meaningful alternative to buying yet more "stuff." That involves tangible giving opportunities (preserve an acre of the rain forest, fund an hour of cancer research, etc.), personalized greeting cards, wish lists and registries. Imagine how much good we can do together as more and more people show their love with meaningful donations.
Overview of the Opportunity
- Help us capture for nonprofits some of the $450 billion Americans spend each year buying presents.
- Become a member of our dynamic and creative international team
- Assume real responsibility. No coffee runs here! Be a leader among those who share your commitment to making the world a better place, and do work that matters. We offer an outstanding experience and an opportunity to change the world, but as an emerging nonprofit organization, we have only unpaid positions.
- Work from our Manhattan office (conveniently located right across from Penn Station) or remotely. Full-time or part-time; school-year or summer.
Highly Selective
We have an outstanding team and an important mission, so we are highly selective in our hiring. We seek outstanding applicants with a record of accomplishment.
Help Veterans
We are recruiting interns and volunteers to focus on the cause of Veterans and capture for veterans’ nonprofits some of the fortune now spent buying traditional presents. Interns and volunteers focused on this cause strategize, research, and reach out to potential advisors; philanthropists, corporations, and foundations for growth funding; nonprofits; and the public, via media, social media, professional associations, student organizations, and celebrities.
Other Internship Opportunities with Changing The Present
Some interns and volunteers focus on their professional or academic skills, such as finance, accounting, Human Resources (HR) and organizational psychology, graphics, communications and Public Relations (PR), marketing, research, social media, and technology.
Because we address every charitable cause, interns and volunteers can focus on their favorites.
We have roles for college students, graduate students, and professionals.

Mission Statement
We are launching our new website, which involves inviting the participation of all one million nonprofits, providing each with their own private gift site, and promoting this growing social norm: You don’t have to buy stuff to show your love; instead, you can do something meaningful in a friend’s name.
Description
ChangingThePresent is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which helps channel to nonprofits some of the $250 Americans spend each year on birthday, holiday, and other gifts, by making the experience of giving a donation in a friend’s name feel like a gift with tangible giving opportunities, wish lists, registries, and beautiful, personalized printed greeting cards. The New York Times referred to the site as an "amazon.com of the nonprofit world." You may recognize this as the approach proven by Heifer International, which raises $115 million a year by letting people donate to fund farm animals in a friend’s name. If farm animals can attract that much money, imagine how much is available for more popular causes.
