Doing GOOD This Summer

Summertime is here, which means longer days, spending time outside, and a break from the routine grind. We think it’s a perfect time to do some GOOD in your community – and we have $5,000 to help you along! Whether you’re working with underprivileged kids at a summer camp, organizing an outdoor art and music festival, or making sure your neighborhood park is clean and inviting, we want to hear about it. Tell us how $5,000 would support and expand the work you’re doing this summer.

Submit a proposal between May 10 and June 8 noon Pacific Time. From June 8 to 29, we’ll open it up to public voting. Rally your colleagues and friends to get behind your effort and join the GOOD community in selecting the winner.

Join GOOD Maker on Twitter @GOODmkr and Facebook.
