The interactive architectural lighting platform relies on Change to manage CCV compliance and scale cause-based impact across New York City
SAN FRANCISCO, May 13, 2025 – Change, the leading compliance and donation infrastructure platform for charitable campaigns, today announced its partnership with Spireworks. The innovative, app-based platform allows users to illuminate iconic buildings in New York City, owned by The Durst Organization, for philanthropic causes, brands, and civic engagement. By using Change’s suite of commercial co-venture (CCV) compliance tools and Donations API, Spireworks can now expand its platform while maintaining compliance and trust with its users and nonprofit partners.
Spireworks allows members to control the lighting of The Durst Organization’s New York City buildings – including One Bryant Park, One World Trade Center, Sven in Long Island City, and Halletts Point in Astoria – in real-time, in support of meaningful charitable causes. To facilitate charitable donations and nonprofit activations, maintaining compliance with state CCV laws is a critical priority. Change is now the technology behind the scenes, helping Spireworks meet multi-state regulatory requirements and distribute donations to nonprofits securely and efficiently.
With Change, Spireworks automates key aspects of charitable compliance, including CCV agreement filings and campaign tracking. Through Change’s platform, Spireworks also gains access to a network of over 1.3 million pre-vetted nonprofits, allowing the company to offer users a broader and more localized selection of causes to support. This partnership ensures Spireworks’ ongoing compliance and builds a strong foundation for future growth.
“Spireworks is partnering with Change for a seamless compliance experience so we can continue to give members the opportunity to illuminate iconic New York City buildings,” says Mark Domino, Founder of Spireworks. “Change is freeing up time so we can continue creating memorable, cause-driven experiences.”
Change ensures the legal and operational infrastructure is in place to support the Spireworks vision. Together, the two companies are demonstrating how creative technology, compliance, and social good can come together to drive a new kind of engagement.
