GOOD Maker Overview: GOOD creates media, community-based, and digital products that help make the world a better place. Our newest product is GOOD Maker, an online platform that crowdsources ideas and actions on critical social issues. Through GOOD Maker, organizations create “challenges” that ask the broader community to submit ideas or take actions that engage them in the challenge creator’s mission. Through these challenges, we tap into the GOOD community’s energy and creativity and give people new ways to make good happen.
