The 15 charities and good causes selected include [Tiny Tickers](https://www.tinytickers.org/), [Plan UK](https://plan-uk.org/), Lion Guardians, Children International, Earth Day Network, BlinkNow Foundation, and Save the Bees. ## Advertisement   https://instagram.com/p/B0xeTfjJlBP/   In the post, they include links to each account and state that they are now following them, saying: > “These accounts showcase those persevering at the grassroots level, connecting > our global community through a shared lens of giving back and helping one another. > We were so happy to learn about them and are now able to share them with you! > Thank you for being part of this collective conversation with us; we hope everyone > has enjoyed discovering many of these accounts and engaging with each other on > how we can all be Forces For Change.” BlinkNow Foundation was one of the featured causes to respond, saying: > “THANK YOU so much for featuring our work to empower Nepal’s children!! ??
