TikTok creators around the world create a positive impact on and beyond the platform. We see this every day through videos from heartwarming heroes like Celine Murillo (@celinemurillo_), a Filipino who inspires us to take climate action through beautiful cinemotography. 

Building on our ongoing commitment to foster a global community who is passionate about using #TikTokforGood, we're honored to introduce the TikTok Change Makers Program, our first-ever global social impact creator elevation program that spotlights creators and non-profits who create meaningful change in their communities through TikTok. Throughout this 6-month program, we will support these creators to build engaged communities, reach new audiences, and unlock real-world opportunities through dedicated tools, resources, and donations to designated non-profit organizations, which will allow them to drive an even greater impact around their causes.

Introducing the TikTok Change Makers

To officially launch this program, we are celebrating and unveiling our inaugural global list of TikTok Change Makers, comprising 50 purpose-driven creators from around the world. Whether it's spreading positivity or sharing good deeds, these Change Makers continue to advocate, inspire, and educate their communities to drive collective change on TikTok and beyond.

Meet the Philippines' Celine Murillo,  a photographer, filmmaker, and environmentalist who creates content showcasing how wonderful biodiversity is in the Philippines. Her goal is to make her audience care about Mother Earth and generate a desire to protect the planet. Check out her content on native Philippine trees and the "Boom Tarat Tarat" bird.  and learn more about her incredible journey.

Championing causes with non-profit organizations through the TikTok Change Makers Grant

As a platform that celebrates creativity and authentic expression, TikTok brings together creators, non-profit organizations and businesses with a shared vision to rally support, raise awareness and funds for causes that matter. We've also seen over 50,000 posts under the #TikTokforGood hashtag, showcasing the strength and impact of a community that's keen to drive meaningful change and unlock real-world impact.

As we continue forging meaningful partnerships between creators and non-profit organizations, we are also introducing the TikTok Change Makers Grant as an integral part of the TikTok Change Makers program. Through this Grant, we are donating over $1 million to over 30 global and local non-profit organizations supporting a variety of important causes, making a $25,000 direct donation in honor of every Change Maker to support their respective advocacies while elevating the impact of their work.

"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," said Kim Farrell, Head of Creators, TikTok.

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, Photographer, Filmaker, and Environmentalist. 

"We're thrilled to announce our collaboration with TikTok to launch the TikTok Change Makers Program. Through this initiative, we're empowering ASEAN youth to raise their voices on crucial issues like well-being, sustainability, and community impact. Together, we're harnessing the power of creativity to drive meaningful advocacy and amplify the voices of our passionate youth. We believe this program has the potential to engage even more young changemakers and inspire them to make a positive difference in their communities," said Dr Piti Srisangnam, Executive Director of ASEAN Foundation.
