Mission

The Change Reaction is a philosophy of giving that offers maximum joy for donors and maximum impact for recipients. We provide direct grants to hardworking people who are experiencing hardships or who have opportunities to further their success but do not have the financial support they need to succeed. By partnering with well-established organizations, we transfer philanthropy to frontline staff who have access to resources not previously available. The result is that caseworkers on the frontlines say yes more often than no to clients in need.
