“When you give, you’re not donating to a cause — you’re investing in people. Families eat. Records are cleared. Futures are rewritten. That’s the power of your support.”

- Todd Belcore, Cofounder of Social Change

Why Give?

Your donation removes barriers, feeds families, changes laws, and inspires communities worldwide.

Since 2012, Social Change has helped over 100,000 families. Through our:

Free legal clinics that start the process to expunge or seal criminal records,

Free farmers’ markets: taken place at our englewood garden.

Policy advocacy: we have passed more than 30 life-changing laws.

ChangeFest: our annual international film festival that uses art and storytelling to build awareness and drive justice.

Your donation powers both urgent needs today and long-term solutions that last for generations.
