Launched Oct 16, 2011 on World Food Day, the Good Belly Project brought foodies and 17 local Boston restaurants together. Every time a customer took an Instagram photo of their restaurant meal and shared it, the participating restaurant would donate $1.00 to the Good Belly Project, which transferred 100 percent of the proceeds to UNICEF’s East Africa relief efforts. The Good Belly Project turned foodies’ passion for taking food photos into a form of user-generated social media promotion for restaurants and the cause. And in exchange, participating restaurants donated to the cause, and even noticed a surge in business.
