Kindness is contagious but often invisible. We aim to highlight the profound impact small acts of kindness can have on both ourselves and others.
Numerous studies have demonstrated that acts of altruism can positively impact your health, happiness, and the well-being of your community.
Each chain of kindness is connected to a single card with a unique QR code. When you perform a kind deed, include this card. The recipient scans the code to view the gifts and reactions that led to their gift, and can add their own story. By passing the card on, they keep the chain alive and watch their small act of kindness continue to grow. If they want to see it spread even further, they can print more cards or have them sent to you (no charge!) —and truly watch kindness flourish in unexpected ways.
1. Sign up and get your card
Create your account and get your own card(s). Once you're logged in, you can print them directly from the homepage or request free delivery to your address.
2. Give a gift
Don’t have an idea yet? Don’t stress, we have a few examples here to get you started. You can give more than one gift for every kindness you have received or be the start to a new tree of kindness.
3. Pass the card
Be sure to include the card with your gift, so people know it’s part of the project. You can add a personal message (private or public), what the gift will be, and where in the world you are giving.
4. Watch it grow.
We will notify you each time your kindness spreads.
Guidelines
- Pay it back by paying it forward!
- Don't expect anything from the people you give to.
- Be creative! You don't have to spend money or copy what someone did for you in order to participate.
- If it doesn't feel appropriate to ask someone to pay it forward, don't!
