Uplifting selfless grassroots volunteerism for a kinder, more compassionate world
Seeding a community of changemakers
We use the money we raise to invest in grassroots projects by people who seek to create a more compassionate world. Every day of the year, our network selects a new project that will receive $1,000 in seed funding. As that project blossoms, leaders can access capacity-building support, encouragement, and connectivity with others. Through these efforts, we seed a vibrant community of global changemakers who seek to spread compassion in the world for the benefit of all.

Theory of Change #4: Inspiring Action
The stories of our changemakers from across the globe are a core part of our theory of change. They inspire action and act as an antidote to apathy; they create a new narrative of what is possible when we realize that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Theory of Change #3: Inner Transformation
As grassroots service and individual action bloom in the world, we believe it is important that each changemaker cultivates a lush and verdant inner garden, too. This is why we advance the ideas of #heartivism, which is the intersection of heart and activism.
Theory of Change #2: Capacity, Relationship & Collaboration
It is difficult to stand alone and blaze a trail, the destination to which seems only immediately clear to you. It is far easier to stand in community, toward a shared dream of acting with courage toward a kinder, more compassionate world.
