What causes are you most passionate about?  Which nonprofits?

ChangingThePresent.org, a new nonprofit website launching in a few months, offers real donation opportunities. Visitors can do more than select a nonprofit; they can choose exactly what their money will fund, from polio vaccines to acres of the rainforest.

ChangingThePresent also gives you a forum to direct the money and attention of your fans to the causes and nonprofits you care about. At the same time, it gives you recognition and publicity for your efforts to make the world a better place.

Internet luminary Esther Dyson wrote, "ChangingThePresent will not only change the way money is raised; it will change the way nonprofits fit into people's lives."

Our launch is just a few months away. When we do go live, we would like to have hundreds of public figures involved. Won't you please join us?

These pages make it easy. They describe our plans, show the people involved, and let you share your thoughts.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact Ruth Ann Hacking at WellGood, which is managing the launch of ChangingThePresent, by phone at (212) 779-1085 or by using this contact form

Thank you very much. We look forward to hearing from you.
