Give
Somebody paid for the second chance you got.
Change Course costs a Leader nothing. It costs somebody something. Giving here funds training, certifications, coaching, and a Monday-night dinner that keeps people in the room.
Where it goes
What your gift actually buys
We don’t run campaigns, thermometers, or deadlines. This is the running cost of walking people from setback to career.
Ways to give
Most needed
Give monthly
Predictable support is what lets us promise a Leader 16 weeks. Any amount, cancel any time.
Give once
A one-time gift, whenever it makes sense for you. Tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
Sponsor a Leader
Underwrite one person’s entire 16 weeks: training, certification, coaching, and dinners. We’ll tell you how it went.
Corporate giving
Sponsor a track, match employee gifts, or pair giving with hiring. Most of our best partners do both.

The whole ledger, on one screen

Where it went
of expenses are people
Personnel is our largest line, and we’d defend it anywhere. Lasting change needs consistent, personal support: one-on-one coaching, daily care, someone who notices when a Leader goes quiet.
Every November
Night of Hope
Our one fundraising night of the year, with graduates, Allies, employers, and donors in one room. Come next fall and see the work up close.
