The collaboration enables Cogency to streamline nonprofit filings and scale client support with Change's AI-enabled legal compliance technology
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7, 2025 – Cogency Global, a premier provider of legal and compliance services for companies, nonprofits, and law firms, today announced it has selected Change, the leading compliance and donation infrastructure platform, to power its nonprofit filings. Through this collaboration, Cogency will use Change to streamline time-sensitive charitable solicitation renewals, boosting efficiency and better supporting its growing base of nonprofit clients.
Cogency is a leader in global compliance, supporting nonprofits in legal, regulatory, and governance needs. One of the most resource-intensive services Cogency manages is the 55 separate filings required annually for nonprofits to achieve nationwide compliance. By adopting Change's AI-powered document parsing and auto-fill capabilities, Cogency will cut filing times dramatically, boost efficiency, and create additional capacity to serve more clients.
This collaboration is a major step in modernizing compliance services, paving the way for routine legal filings to be automated and scaled with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Change is leading this shift with a solution built for teams managing nonprofit compliance and by introducing AI-enabled tools that simplify filings and reduce risk. Change's auto-populating browser extension, the first of its kind for charitable registrations, replaces hours of manual form-filling with intelligent automation and is custom-built for state sites.
"Change has been a powerful addition to our business. The accuracy and speed of the technology are remarkable, and the extension works seamlessly across every state site. What once took hours now takes a fraction of the time, allowing us to support more clients and ultimately more nonprofits doing important work."
– Ron Barrett, Vice President of Nonprofit Services, Cogency Global
Barrett also sat down with the Change team for a recent episode of the Give Smart video series, where he shared insights on misinformation in the nonprofit compliance sphere, the role of AI, and how Cogency is embracing technology to better serve nonprofits. Listen to the full conversation here.
This collaboration shows how the charitable legal sector is beginning to embrace the same wave of innovation transforming other areas of law. With Change's platform bringing automation to charitable registrations for the first time, the path is being paved toward a future where even the most complex filings are simplified and compliance across the nonprofit ecosystem can be managed at scale.
