Why We Do This

We promote empathy, peace, social justice, environmental sustainability, and intercultural understanding in a world riddled in turmoil. By encouraging compassionate action the Charter for Compassion aims to create compassionate communities where individuals can connect, collaborate, and support each other in their efforts to create a more compassionate world. These communities foster a sense of belonging and provide platforms for sharing ideas, resources, and initiatives related to compassion.

How We Do This

This website is your compassion landing pad. Consider it to be a “wikipedia” of the compassion movement. It contains an encyclopedia of information about compassion, its history and how it relates to the fields in which we work. It offers tools for grassroots organizing of compassionate communities, approaches to how we connect our passions through storytelling and most importantly, how we find others of a similar mind so we might strengthen our resolve to build a more just and equitable world.

What we do now becomes the memory of our children. May we leave them something beautiful.

Our Impact This Year

In 2024, the Charter for Compassion launched a number of new cities, added partners from Australia to Zimbabwe and generated nearly 50,000 hours of volunteer work and through our social media efforts reached over 6 million.

Each year we start anew with measuring our impact. The figures below begin with January 31, 2025.

Thank you for your continued support. We couldn’t do it without you. Please Donate.
