What could happen if our global Charter for Compassion family came together to raise $50,000 in just two months?

We have been given an exciting challenge: raise $50,000 by December 31, 2026, to unlock an additional $50,000 for the Charter for Compassion!

That means every dollar we raise toward this goal has the potential to be doubled, helping us continue to grow a global movement that brings compassion into our schools, communities, workplaces, and everyday lives.

But here's the exciting part: We don't have to do this through donations alone.

We have thousands of creative, caring, and resourceful people throughout our Charter family. Imagine what we could accomplish if each of us found one way to turn something we love doing into an act of compassion.

A Cup of Tea for Compassion

Invite a few friends or neighbors for tea, coffee, or dessert. Share our special pre-Gala video, tell them why compassion matters to you, and invite everyone to make a contribution. A gathering of ten friends giving $20 each raises $200. Imagine 100 such gatherings around the world!

Bake for Compassion

Who doesn't love a good old-fashioned bake sale? Invite friends to contribute their favorite cakes, cookies, breads, or homemade treats. Organize a neighborhood bake sale, or bring your goodies to a school, community center, or workplace. Every cookie purchased can help us build a more compassionate world!

The 50/50 Compassion Challenge

Here's an idea we especially love.

If you belong to a Compassionate Community, local organization, school, or community group, organize a fundraiser and keep 50% of what you raise for your own local compassion projects while contributing the other 50% to the Charter's global work.

You strengthen compassion in your own community while helping the Charter connect, inspire, and support compassionate action worldwide.

It's a beautiful way of demonstrating that compassion is not a competition for resources. It is a commitment to helping one another flourish.

Turn Your Talents into Compassion

Are you a musician? Host a small concert. An artist? Offer a piece of your work for sale. A gardener? Organize a plant sale. A teacher? Offer a workshop. A storyteller? Gather people for an evening of stories.

You might organize a community potluck, a poetry reading, a neighborhood yard sale, or even a compassion walk.

The possibilities are as limitless as your imagination.

Give What You Can, Invite Someone Else

Of course, the simplest way to participate is to make a donation. Whether it's $10, $25, $100, or more, every gift matters. And if you can, invite a friend to join you.

If 500 people give $100, we will meet our $50,000 goal. If 1,000 people give $50, we will get there just as surely.

Why This Matters

The Charter for Compassion is more than an organization. It is a worldwide community of people who believe that compassion must be more than an ideal. It must be something we practice, teach, share, and bring into the world.

From our Compassionate Communities to our youth initiatives, from Talk, Listen, Connect to the Compassion Transformation Institute, our work is rooted in a simple belief: when people come together with compassion, extraordinary things become possible.
 

Now we have an opportunity to demonstrate that belief together.

Our goal: $50,000 by December 31.

Our opportunity: Turn that into $100,000 for compassion.

Our invitation: Be creative. Bring people together. Have fun. And help us meet the challenge!
