Start a chapter RAISE MONEY FOR THE HUNGER PROJECT AND THE COMMITMENT 2030 FUND.

  • The Hunger Project's vision is a world where every woman, man and child leads a healthy, fulfilling life of self-reliance and dignity. We empower women and men to end their own hunger through sustainable, grassroots, women-centered strategies and work to advocate for such approaches worldwide. The end of hunger is not possible without an engaged youth. We are proud to partner with FeelGood and the Commitment 2030 Fund in our shared goal to end hunger by 2030. If you are in college, and would like to make a strong contribution to The Hunger Project and our collective future, we encourage you to start a FeelGood chapter.

THE MOVEMENT

FeelGood is a youth movement turning college into a time of effective global action. On campuses across the country, students run a successful social enterprise—a grilled cheese deli— to raise money and build public support for the end of extreme hunger and poverty. In the process students gain critical business, leadership and teamwork skills that serve them throughout their lives.

THE FUND

Every dollar students’ raise is invested in the Commitment 2030 Fund: A select group of organizations working to fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): a global initiative to eliminate extreme hunger and poverty by achieving an economically prosperous, socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable human presence on the planet by 2030.

YOUR LEGACY

Follow the steps of our proven program, and in three years or less your chapter will be raising a minimum of $10,000 annually for cutting-edge organizations working to end poverty by 2030. In the process you’ll not only create a lasting campus legacy that will thrive long after you graduate, you’ll also develop the skills and friendships that will empower your own on-going journey as “a changemaker for life.”


We're kind of famous. No big deal.
