The GOOD 100 Challenge: Sharing is the New Owning

Sharing is making a big comeback, and in our second-ever GOOD 100, we highlight this refreshing trend. We invite you tell us how you’re improving your community by sharing, lending, or freely giving something of value to others. Whether you’re planning a clothing swap, starting a neighborhood time bank, or getting your used textbooks into the hands of some cash-strapped students, we want to help your idea succeed and accelerate its progress.

Submit your ideas here to apply for $1000 to fund your project. All ideas will be voted on by the community—so be ready to rally friends, family and colleagues behind your effort.

Individuals, groups and organizations can participate. Once projects are submitted, get out the vote by asking your community to support your project. Submissions end and voting opens on December 8th.

Submission tips:

• Include a photo or video that represents your idea. For example: a photo of your sharing idea in action, or an image that reflects the spirit of what you’re trying to achieve
• Photos should be in JPG, PNG, or GIF format, at least 572 × 346 pixels and no larger than 10MB.
• Write at least 3-5 sentences that explain how the $1,000 award will bring your idea to life.
