Imagine my surprise when, amidst my digital explorations, I stumbled across The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. The have all kinds of tools, and ideas, and inspiration for performing acts of kindness in your school, your community, everywhere. Their mission is:

“The Random Acts of Kindness™ Foundation inspires people to practice kindness and to “pass it on” to others. We provide free educational and community ideas, guidance, and other resources to kindness participants through our website.”

And, if you think it’s just another charity about to hit you up for a donation, think again:

“The Foundation is privately held and funded. We accept no donations, grants, or membership dues. We do not provide financial assistance to individuals or organizations. The Foundation has no religious or organizational affiliations; we encourage the practice of kindness in all sectors of society.

The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation is the United States delegate to the World Kindness Movement, an organization that includes various nations. People in these countries promote kindness within their countries’ borders and are creating a global network of kindness and compassion.”

Who knew there was a World Kindness Movement?
