Causes: Family Services, Human Services, Philanthropy, Voluntarism Promotion

Mission: The mission of DGT is to empower families to raise children who care and contribute. Our nonprofit was founded on the belief that when parents engage with their children in community service, they pass on the spirit of giving to their sons and daughters, strengthen families, and breed a new generation of volunteers and philanthropists.

Results: We have a core group of families that serve as testers of our Big-Hearted Families project, in a quest to show that "giving back" can begin at any age -- and the payoffs of a Kindness Practice provide long-term positive results in a variety of measurable and intrinsic ways.

Target demographics: families (esp. those with children ages 4-12) who enjoy the benefits of serving others and sharing kindness

Direct beneficiaries per year: dozens of nonprofits get their names out to service-minded families. Plus we helped countless families learn the benefits of creating a kindness practice at home

Geographic areas served: the U. S. A. including listings of volunteer opportunities in various cities, e. g. , Twin Cities, Boston, NYC, Seattle, Oakland/East Bay, and Silicon Valley.

Programs: a unique Big-Hearted Families™ program with online service projects, book recommendations, and conversation starters, along with a coordinated family-service event that brings nonprofits and helpful families together to work on fun projects. We also offer our subscribers monthly lists of family-friendly volunteer opportunities in their select cities, plus kindness activities to share and make kindness a family habit.
