Creating Change forges a commitment to the community by donating Discovery's most valuable resources, its talented employees, during a 12-hour creative marathon. Last year, over 150 employees completed more than 25 projects in areas such as marketing, communications, creative design services, social media and video production. In addition, running concurrently to the marathon Discovery will host a conference for nonprofit representatives where Discovery business leaders will present tools, tips and tricks to help the organizations better navigate their competitive landscape. Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to find out more information about Creating Change and can [apply here](http://impact.discovery.com/creating-change/). Applications will be accepted through October 3, 2013.
