OnChange.ai

OnChange.ai : The first AI platform for NGOs. They platform provide strategies, insights, and solutions applicable to the unique challenges faced by NGOs.

Inspiration

After years in human rights advocacy in Asia, I witnessed NGOs sacrificing impact to navigate operational complexities—limited funding, fragmented data, and reactive strategies. Existing tools weren’t built for their unique challenges, leaving teams overwhelmed by administration instead of mission-driven work. I founded OnChange.ai to change that: the first AI platform designed exclusively for NGOs, transforming their constraints into scalable impact.

What it does

OnChange.ai turns scattered data into actionable intelligence for NGOs in Asia. Our AI:

  • Review NGOs website to understand work and follow up questions for the NGOs.
  • Estimate funding gaps and partner opportunities in the field (es. suggest service provider like Techsoup, Trustlaw etc)
  • Optimizes field operations via dynamic risk assessments and best practices suggestions (e.g., similar causes NGOs database).

How we built it

  1. Problem-first approach: Reviewed 10 NGOs across Thailand and Vietnam to map pain points.
  2. Vibe AI tools architecture:
    • Bolt and dine-tuned LLMs (GPT-4, Llama 3) on NGO-specific datasets (website, annual and field reports etc).
  3. Built modular tools: Review NGOs, Strategy and Partners Resources, Fundraising Optimizer.

Challenges we ran into

  • Data fragmentation: NGO data often exists in siloed formats (PDFs, spreadsheets, field notes).
    Solution: Developed a unified ingestion engine with OCR + NLP normalization.
  • Resource constraints: Balancing deep customization with scalability for small NGOs.

Accomplishments we’re proud of

  • Mapping of current tools and platforms used by NGOs
  • Utilizing different Vibe coding AI tools for rapid prototyping
  • Understand limitations if Vibe coding and different tools integration

What we learned

  • NGOs need co-creation: Tools must adapt to local contexts (e.g., local languages, low-bandwidth areas), understand more closely the work and challenges of NGOs.
  • Impact > technology: Users care about outcomes—not AI—so we lead with results ("This helped us serve 2,000 more children's").
  • Sustainability requires flexibility: Tiered pricing (free for grassroots NGOs; enterprise for larger orgs).

What’s next for OnChange.ai

  • Some Issues with Bolt exports 😅
  • Launch "Collective Impact" module: AI-powered coalition builder for NGOs tackling shared challenges (e.g., education, health access, poverty).
  • Expand language support to others Asian countries by end-2025.
  • Reach 500+ mid size NGOs globally by 2026, prioritizing conflict-affected regions.
