What makes people more comfortable being kind to strangers? It may be simpler than you think: experiencing kindness themselves. New Gallup research suggests that how we experience and witness kindness in our own lives relates not only to our motivation to be kind, but also to how kind we believe others are, and even how kind we think the country is overall.

To establish kindness as a defining national value, leaving a legacy of unity that extends beyond America’s 250th anniversary.
The United States of Kindness invites everyone to make kindness part of everyday life. Each act, large or small, can help people feel connected and inspire someone else to do the same.
The 250 Acts of Kindness Challenge gave us a place to start in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
Wherever you are in the challenge, there is still time to take part. Start with one act and keep kindness going.Help us make kindness visible. Share an act you did or witnessed so others can see the good happening across our country.
Together, we are building a United States of Kindness.
