TikTok launches $1 million social impact program
Amid a looming ban in the U.S., TikTok has just announced a new program for creators who make positive social change. Titled the TikTok Change Makers Program, the initiative is TikTok's "first-ever global social impact creator elevation program" dedicated to spotlighting creators dedicated to education, activism, and advocacy.
Ten creators will take part in the program, with each getting support from TikTok over the course of six months to help their individual missions. It's not entirely clear how the program will work but TikTok's head of creators Kim Farrellsaid in a statement that TikTok will help "social impact creators and non-profit organizations reach more communities, unlock real-world opportunities, and bring about lasting, meaningful change."
