About Us
The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation (RAK) is a nonprofit with a mission of making kindness the norm.
The foundation achieves this by inspiring and facilitating kindness through free resources focusing on schools, workplaces and home/communities.
Why we do what we do:
- To inspire acts of kindness. We believe kindness can have a positive impact on individuals and society as a whole.
- To improve mental health and well-being. Research has shown that performing acts of kindness can have a positive impact on mental health. By performing acts of kindness, one can reduce stress, anxiety and depression.
- To foster community connections. The RAK Foundation believes that communities can grow when connections are created and strengthened through kindness. People have a stronger sense of belonging and social cohesion when they are connected through kindness.
- To provide opportunities for service. We believe that serving others through random acts of kindness can be a powerful way to cultivate feelings of empathy and compassion. Offering resources that encourage people to serve others promotes a sense of selflessness and responsibility.
- To create a ripple effect. We know that every small act of kindness can have a ripple effect, inspiring others to be kind.
- To create a sense of belonging. The foundation believes that we can help people feel more connected to their community and promote a sense of belonging through our three areas of focus.
- To inspire change. We believe every act of kindness has the potential to inspire positive change in the world.
We follow a simple framework for everything we do: Inspire, Empower, Act, Reflect and Share.
