Change.org is the world’s largest platform for democracy. At a time when dissatisfaction with democracy globally is at an all-time high, we’re investing heavily in using AI to build the most powerful tools in the world to give people greater voice, while bringing people across the political spectrum together to identify shared solutions. Our core petitions platform, used by more than 100 million people annually, is growing rapidly - and we are rebuilding it from the ground-up using new tools to turn anyone into a powerful civic leader on the issues they care about. Soon we will launch a new platform to identify the >80% of issues that most people agree on, locally and nationally, and to mobilize hundreds of millions of people to advocate for those common-ground solutions. To realize this vision, we’re expanding the most talented team in the world at the intersection of technology and social impact - all focused every day on building healthier democracies globally.

Kiva (www.kiva.org) expands financial access to help underserved communities thrive. An international non-profit, we serve the financially excluded, especially underbanked women, refugees and communities impacted by forced displacement, climate-vulnerable people and systemically marginalized communities in the United States. By connecting people through crowdfunded loans, Kiva puts the power of financial inclusion in all our hands. Since 2005, the Kiva community has raised over $2 billion in loans, reaching over 5 million people in 84 countries. Kiva’s team is made up of 100+ employees and 450+ volunteers across the world, with offices in San Francisco, Nairobi, Bangkok, and Bogotá.

At DonorsChoose, we believe that every child carries remarkable potential, and education is the key to unlocking and shaping it. Since 2000, we have connected donors and partners directly with public school teachers, raising $1.9 billion to fulfill teacher requests for school supplies. These resources bring learning to life: A science lab for experimentation. Flexible seating that supports focus. A classroom library to expand perspectives. Technology that opens doors to new possibilities. We serve every corner of public education nationwide — including public schools, public charter schools, and Head Start centers — with a focus on directing resources to the classrooms facing the greatest barriers to opportunity. Behind this work is a passionate and dedicated team, united by a shared belief in empowering educators to help every student reach their potential. Together, we’re building the most direct, transparent, and impactful way to support students.
