How Would You Change the World?
In April, we launched the second round of 100&Change, our global $100 million competition to help solve a critical social challenge. 100&Change is open to organizations and collaborations working in any field, anywhere in the world.
People have shared with us on our Facebook page what social challenge they would address with $100 million.
Check out a small selection of people’s ideas below. Note that the list below does not indicate any kind of Foundation endorsement of these ideas. Which ideas excite or interest you? What challenge would you tackle with $100 million? Share your thoughts with us on social media using the hashtag #100andChange.
And remember you have until 11 AM Central Time tomorrow, July 16 to register for the competition. Register at 100andChange.org
