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.

Through these efforts, we seed a vibrant community of global changemakers who seek to spread compassion in the world for the benefit of all.
