Big change is just one small step and a mouse click away. That’s the message from American Express and TakePart in their new project One Small Vote for Big Change.

Every three months, organizations with the top number of votes in five categories receive $200,000 from American Express—and turns out several of our partners and friends are currently up for the top prize. Save the Children, Mercy Corps, International Rescue Committee, Habitat for Humanity International, and the American Red Cross are finalists in Community Development and Relief, and charity:water is a finalist in the Environment and Wildlife category. Best of luck to everyone—and don’t forget to vote!

You can see the list of full finalists here.
