How Kindness.org is Building a Kinder World

Kindness.org, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit, is on a mission to make the world a gentler place through community-driven acts of kindness. Their platform encourages people to participate in simple yet impactful gestures—proving that kindness doesn’t require wealth, just time and intention.

11 Simple Acts of Kindness You Can Do Today

Kindness.org offers a selection of small, everyday actions to spread goodwill, including:

  • Picking up litter in your neighborhood
  • Giving away a favorite book to brighten someone’s day
  • Asking an elder for advice to foster connection
  • Helping a stranger with a small task

These acts are part of a broader initiative to track and amplify kindness globally.

The Power of Time Over Money

A viral video featuring Joe, a London math tutor, highlights the initiative’s core message. When asked if he was rich, Joe replied, “I don’t have money, but I have time.” This philosophy drives Kindness.org’s mission—proving that small, consistent efforts create meaningful change.

Research-Backed Kindness Initiatives

Beyond encouraging individual acts, Kindness.org partners with leading institutions to study kindness’s impact:

  • Oxford University Meta-Analysis: Research on how kindness affects well-being (submitted to Psychological Bulletin).
  • The Living Room Project: Pop-up tea shops in the UK combatting social isolation, co-produced with Camerados.
  • Permanent Space in Blackpool: A library-based hub fostering community connections.

Why Kindness Matters

Kindness.org demonstrates that even minor gestures can ripple into significant societal benefits. By participating, you contribute to a growing movement proving that compassion is a universal currency.
