TikTok's 'Good Exists' Challenge Awards $100,000 to 5 Nonprofits
SEATTLE – November 10, 2026 -- Five TikTok creators have each won funding to direct to a charity of their choice, after Greater Good Charities split a $100,000 grant pool among the winners of its first "Good Exists" challenge.
The campaign asked creators and social media users to document acts of kindness and spotlight organizations driving positive change, as an antidote to doomscrolling. A nationwide public vote and a panel of judges, concluding Nov. 5, narrowed 25 finalists down to five winners.
Public vote winners take $50,000 and $20,000
Punam (@punambhattarai44) took first place and $50,000 for Bagmati Welfare Society Nepal. Natalia (@user24533423042) placed second with $20,000 for United for Animals.
