The 100% volunteer-driven Media Rise has awarded more than $8,000 in cash prizes, plus countless hours and dollars of pro bono consultation and in-kind support, to people who are using media for social good. We have convened 3,000+ participants and 200+ speakers through 60+ events in four countries (U.S., U.K., India & Singapore) to build meaningful connections for future collaborations and projects. We have produced 13 videos to support local D.C. nonprofits. And we have hosted the "Early Rise" speaker series around the world, inspiring people in London, Chicago, Austin, Chennai and Singapore to unleash the power of media to accelerate social change.
