I have a great story for you. A new nonprofit website, www.ChangingThePresent.org, is changing the way we give gifts and the way people support charities.

There comes a point when most of want more meaning, rather than more than stuff. So what better way to honor a friend than by doing something to make the world a better place, in their name?

ChangingThePresent lets you do more than select a nonprofit to support; you can choose exactly what you want to accomplish. For just a few dollars, you can protect an acre of the rainforest, make a blind person see, or provide a child with a first book. There are thousands of rewarding opportunities from hundreds of leading nonprofits.

Also, profile pages, wish lists and registries let us share our passions and interests with others. ChangingThePresent will do for nonprofits what the mall did for shopping.

You can visit the site at www.ChangingThePresent.org, or the media center at www.ChangingThePresent.org/about_us/media.
