Our purpose is two-fold: We exist to empower, inspire, and strengthen communities by helping every individual discover, understand, and act on their capacity to dream of and create meaningful change. 100% of the funds collected go directly to programs with partners who are doing life changing work in the areas of housing, food security, education, health and wellness, animals & nature, and children's play. Private donors and sponsors cover our operating costs so 100% of all change collected gets converted into impact and positive change.

Tax-exempt charity; gifts are tax-deductible.
72¢ of each $1 spent went to programs.
Run by 100 volunteers and 1 employee.

We Make Change in Two Ways

1. We use spare change as an easy, low-barrier tool to empower and inspire youth (and adults alike), to discover and fulfill their capacities as change makers. We work primarily with schools, camps, and other youth groups, where we can share our teachings broadly and activate large groups of kids.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
