We also award needs-based grants to the general population, given to people with the greatness need in those moments that can make the greatest impact. A seen, heard and felt moment in time. Moments driven by the heart… Shannon’s heart. Moments like this… Upon hearing a family struggle at an airport to make numerous connections for their large group, we picked up their dinner tab to make their travel just a little less complicated. A simple act. An act that on its surface isn’t all that life changing. Until you hear... “I had given up on humanity until you just did that.”

We are a grassroots organization focused on building these kinds of ripples of goodness that start one-on-one where we live and interact, in our local communities. But as ring after ring of goodness reaches out, one building on the next, they will expand beyond our communities to touch the rest of the world.
