TweetsGiving09: Epic Thanks

Epic Change amplifies the voices and impact of grassroots changemakers and social entrepreneurs. We share their stories in ways that raise visibility and funds to support their extraordinary efforts to create hope in our world.

Epic Change believes that people's stories are assets that can be used as resources to improve their lives. We help changemakers share their "epic" true stories in innovative, creative and profitable ways to help them acquire the financial resources they need to create positive "change" in their communities.

We have been widely recognized for our innovative use of social media in creating social change.

TweetsGiving was created by Epic Change in November 2008 as a 48-hour Twitter celebration of gratitude & giving. Created in six days by six volunteers, the event raised over $11,000 to build a classroom in Tanzania, where the Twitter handles of donors are now painted on the walls.

Cultivating Global Gratitude

Epic Change aims to create the world’s largest-ever public outpouring of gratitude. While many participants will tweet their thanks and donate to our efforts in honor of their gratitude, we also hope to inspire many others to express their thankfulness in their own families and communities.

We believe gratitude in any form makes the world a better place.


Groundbreaking Participation from Tanzania

Epic Change has won a grant from IdeaBlobto implement a technology lab at Mama Lucy’s school in Arusha, Tanzania. Our goal is to implement the lab in time to have students personally participate in TweetsGiving by sharing their gratitude and interacting directly with TweetsGivingparticipants across the globe.
