The GOOD 30-Day Challenge: Get Financially Fit

Each month, GOOD challenges our community members to do something that will improve the world around us and our own lives. The January challenge is Financial Fitness.

To support this month’s #30DaysofGOOD Challenge, we want to invite you to join us in helping your community get their finances in check.

Submit your idea along with a photo here. Ideas will be voted on by the community—so be ready to spread the word to your friends. The top-voted idea will win $500 to spend on implementing their idea.

With the holidays behind us and the new year afoot, there is no better time to get your finances in order. Come up with an idea that will allow you to help others learn to save and spend smarter—maybe it’s a tutoring program for students to gain practical money skills, or a community workshop to help others save money. Then, submit your idea here. Please include a related image and written description of your idea and how it will serve the community. Individuals, groups and organizations are eligible to apply. Once voting opens, rally your colleagues, friends, family, and neighbors to get behind you and join the GOOD community in deciding which which idea will get $500 to make their project come to life.

Submission tips:

• Include a photo or video that represents your idea. For example: a logo, a photo related to your project, or an inspirational video.
• Photos should be in JPG, PNG, or GIF format, at least 572 × 346 pixels and no larger than 10MB.
• Please include at least 3-5 sentences that explain how the $500 award will be used.
