How Lyft scaled a $42M+ giving program with confidence
Lyft uses Change to power its successful, years-long Round Up & Donate program, making it easy for millions of riders to give back. Change provides the backend infrastructure to automate donations via Donations API, manage nonprofit payouts, and support compliant growth for years to come.
A donations platform for businesses is software that enables companies to run giving programs, accept donations, and distribute funds to nonprofits. It replaces manual processes with a centralized system for managing campaigns, payments, reporting, and compliance. What was previously done by hand can now be automated so your team can focus on building and strengthening relationships with nonprofits you support.
How does Change handle compliance for corporate giving campaigns?
Change embeds compliance directly into your donation program, helping you meet requirements around nonprofit consent, reporting, and payouts. We work efficiently in the background by handling nonprofit vetting, tracking state regulatory requirements, and automating payment workflows so your campaigns stay compliant as you scale.
Can we integrate via API?
Yes! Change offers a flexible Donations API that allows you to integrate giving directly into your product, checkout, or platform. You can programmatically manage donations, nonprofits, payouts, and reporting within your existing experience. It's very flexible and works anywhere.
What types of campaigns can we run?
You can run a wide range of campaigns, including round-ups at checkout, percentage-of-sale donations, sweepstakes and promotions, and customer-directed giving. Change supports both simple and complex giving programs, all in one platform.
What types of companies can benefit from using Change for corporate giving?
Any company looking to launch a charitable giving program can benefit from Change, whether you're a small business or a large enterprise. Our solution works for businesses across industries that want to enhance their corporate social responsibility (CSR) or brand awareness initiatives without the overhead of managing compliance requirements and more.
