Revise Donation Terms of Change.org to Ensure That Donations Go to Petition Creator
The Issue
This petition begins on a serious note. Many great kind hearted people, driven by deep conviction and intense belief in a cause, spend their personal money and savings supporting a petition. Imagine their shock and deep emotional distress upon discovering that their hard-earned money will never reach the creators of the petition, nor would it ever be returned to them. This unfortunately happens much more than it should. Many users believe their donations support the cause directly but are unaware of Change.org's current donation terms.
According to the existing policy, contributions made by community members like you and my relative primarily encompass the operation costs of Change.org. While the platform plays an essential role in championing various causes, it’s vital that the will and intent of donors are respected and reflected in the policy.
We call on Change.org to revise their donation terms so that the donations users provide, driven by empathy and shared goals, go directly to the petition creators and causes they wish to support. This change would enhance transparency, ensure due respect to donor intent, and reinforce trust in the platform's potential for catalyzing meaningful change.
We ask Change.org to echo our sentiments of creating a more equitable system of donation distribution. Amplify this message and lend your voice to this critical cause - please sign this petition.
