No. Create Change is structured as a limited liability company (LLC). While we donate to and support several 501(c)(3) organizations, for ourselves, we believe the best way to truly create everlasting positive change in the world is to position ourselves as a “for profit” company. This approach to growth allows us to be self sustainable and, more importantly, a part of the solution to the challenges and problems we face as a global community by being able to focus our energy on finding creative solutions, raising awareness, supporting and also donating a portion of our proceeds to the causes that matter most to our community.

Although at this time our operating costs are not tax-deductible, we encourage our members to find out more about and get involved with the cause(s) that are most important to them. We will help in this endeavor by providing information about the charities we support along with an opportunity for members to directly donate to the cause(s) of their choice through embedded links on our partnership page that allows the user to connect directly to the charity website of their choice.

Furthermore, it’s important to note that Create Change receives no monetary gain from these donations. Any and all transactions are between the user and that organization. Our intention has and always will be to remain in a supportive position, to see real change in the world through the organizations we decide to support on behalf of our community and that we believe are making a positive difference in the world.

We pride ourselves on being a transparent organization, and we hold ourselves (along with all our partnering organizations) to the highest ethical standards to ensure we are a positive impact in the world. Furthermore, our strategic approach in the development and growth of Create Change allows our members to play a significant role in determining the organizations and causes we choose to partner with and support. This forward thinking communal business model places a high value on listening to the thoughts and opinions of our members so together we can streamline our efforts and make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most. If you’d like more information please feel free to check out an overview of charities we’ve supported to date: https://createchange.me/about/
Please contact us at https://createchange.me/contact/ for all brand/partner inquiries.
Create Change at its core is a collaborative community, giving our members a significant voice in determining the organizations we support. That said, we are always open to member suggestions and encourage you to go through the Outstanding Change Creator Application process. Upon receipt of your submission our team will initiate a detailed inquiry to properly vet the organization to make certain they meet our level of expectation, values and ethical standards to become a Create Change partner. Once we conclude our vetting process we will follow up with the original submission contributor to further discuss our findings and next steps.

For us, success is not defined by numbers. It’s defined by seeing authentic positive growth and change in the individual lives of our global community. As Gandhi said, “We must be the change we wish to see in the world.” By making this our primary focus, it gives us the advantage of creating change from within, giving each individual in our community the tools and support necessary to reach outside our sphere of influence to help them reach their fullest potential and create positive change in the lives of their friends, families and local communities.

That said, although there is inherent value that comes from the monetary contributions we pledge to our charitable partners, the single most important measure of success for us IS found within all the amazing testimonials we receive from our members on a weekly basis. Simply put, authentic change in one’s life can and will lead to authentic change in the lives of many, which we believe is the key to solving and eradicating the challenges we face as a global society.

We love to hear from you, so feel free to send your inquiry via https://createchange.me/contact/ and one of our Create Change associates will get back to you.

Create Change is only made possible by the participation and support from our members. Although the money generated via membership subscriptions and E-commerce store does go to covering the operating costs and expansion of our Create Change mission, we also pledge a portion of our monthly proceeds to be donated to one (or more) of our charitable organizations that are thematically inline with our charitable campaign of the month.

As previously mentioned, we also encourage all our Create Change community members to learn more about, get involved and/or donate to any of the charities we support and that they are also passionate about supporting through our About Page.

By supporting Create Change through your paid membership, you are also supporting the expansion of our organization, which ultimately allows all of our collective community to assist other worthwhile causes. Furthermore, we donate a portion of paid memberships to support our charitable organizations who are aligned with our charitable theme each month. In an effort to remain transparent to our members we will continue to share the difference our Create Change community is making as we move forward together, via our website.
The vast majority of our support goes to 501(c)(3) organizations, but we may also recommend donations to other kinds of artist/activist organizations/projects we believe in. We are fully committed to transparency of our operations. Our community will always be informed about any major funding decisions.
