The partnership brings Change’s AI-enabled compliance technology to K1x customers, complementing K1x’s Form 990 offering
SAN FRANCISCO, September 16, 2026 – Change, a leading technology platform for charitable giving and compliance, has joined the K1x Collective™, K1x’s partner ecosystem for tax and compliance technology and services. Through the partnership, K1x nonprofit customers will gain access to Change’s California charitable registration and renewal product, expanding the compliance support available alongside K1x’s Form 990 technology.
K1x helps tax-exempt organizations streamline Form 990 preparation, review, and IRS-certified e-filing. Change complements that offering by helping nonprofits manage a separate state-level obligation: charitable registration. Nonprofits that operate or solicit charitable contributions in California may be required to register with the California Attorney General's Registry of Charities and Fundraisers and maintain that registration through ongoing renewals.
The requirement has become increasingly important as nonprofits raise funds online. Under California AB 488, charitable fundraising platforms must consider a nonprofit's California and IRS status when determining whether the organization is eligible to receive donations through their platform. Keeping charitable registrations current can therefore play a critical role in maintaining access to online fundraising.
"We're excited to put our AI-powered compliance technology in the hands of more platforms like K1x, giving them a scalable way to offer more compliance support and value to their nonprofit customers," said Amar Shah, Co-Founder and President of Change.
K1x customers can create a Change account and complete the centralized questionnaire. Once the questionnaire is submitted and required fees are paid, Change prepares, validates, and manages the California filing workflow. Nonprofits can track progress in the Change dashboard and receive updates as their filing moves through the process.
"K1x has always focused on making complex compliance workflows simpler for our customers," said Chris Capko, CRO of K1x. "Adding Change to the K1x Collective expands the resources available to our nonprofit customers and gives them a streamlined path to managing California charitable registration alongside their other annual compliance obligations."
Change uses purpose-built automation and AI behind the scenes to translate nonprofit questionnaire responses into filing workflows and facilitate submission through California's filing systems. The technology is designed to give platforms, professional service providers, and other organizations a scalable way to extend compliance services to the nonprofits they serve.
California registration through Change is available now, with additional states planned.
