TikTok is launching its first-ever global social impact initiative, the TikTok Change Makers Program. This program aims to elevate creators and non-profits making a positive impact in their communities.
The program will support selected creators in building engaged communities, reaching new audiences, and accessing real-world opportunities. TikTok will provide dedicated tools, resources, and donations to designated non-profit organizations, amplifying their ability to drive meaningful change.
Celebrating Change Makers
TikTok has unveiled its inaugural list of 50 global TikTok Change Makers, including the Philippines’ own Celine Murillo (@celinemurillo_). A photographer, filmmaker, and environmentalist, Celine creates content highlighting the rich biodiversity of the Philippines, inspiring her audience to protect the planet. Her content on native Philippine trees and the “Boom Tarat Tarat” bird highlights her commitment to environmental conservation.
“Humans are part of the natural world – I hope to remind people of this fact through my stories and content that promotes Philippine biodiversity and our natural heritage,” said Celine Murillo.

Granting Support for Worthy Causes
TikTok brings together creators, non-profit organizations, and businesses with a shared vision to rally support, raise awareness, and generate funds for worthy causes. Over 50,000 posts under the #TikTokforGood hashtag showcase the strength and impact of a community keen to drive meaningful change and unlock real-world impact.
The TikTok Change Makers Program will donate over $1 million to more than 30 global and local non-profit organizations. Each Change Maker will receive a $25,000 donation to support their advocacy efforts, further elevating their impact.

Kim Farrell, Head of Creators at TikTok, said, “The TikTok global community harnesses creative self-expression to drive positive impact by rallying support, raising awareness, and advocating for the causes they truly care about. We’re proud to launch the TikTok Change Makers Program to help social impact creators and non-profit organizations reach more communities, unlock real-world opportunities, and bring about lasting, meaningful change.”
Dr. Piti Srisangnam, Executive Director of ASEAN Foundation, added, “We’re thrilled to announce our collaboration with TikTok to launch the TikTok Change Makers Program.
