Kindness Forward will launch the inaugural Global Kindness Season on November 1, 2026, aiming to document one billion acts of kindness across 195 countries. The initiative expands on the model developed by the nonprofit Te Amo PR during its 2025 campaign.
Why it matters
The initiative seeks to build momentum for human connection by concentrating service participation into a 92-day period. This structure allows organizations to align corporate social responsibility goals with a measurable, international tracking framework.
The 2025 Puerto Rico campaign engaged 270,000 public school students and staff across 78 municipalities, resulting in 1,135,096 certified acts. The 2026 expansion targets 195 countries for the duration of the 92-day Global Kindness Season.
The players
Kindness Forward
An organization coordinating international philanthropic initiatives and tracking service metrics.
Te Amo PR
A nonprofit humanitarian organization that originated in Puerto Rico and operates community relief missions.
HeartMath Institute
A research entity focused on the scientific measurement of human behavior and physiological coherence.
The details
Organizations and individuals register through a centralized portal to pledge and track acts of kindness for collective measurement. Scientific verification of these service events is conducted through a partnership with the HeartMath Institute's Global Coherence Project 2.0. The model leverages the community engagement structure used by Te Amo PR, which previously executed 250 humanitarian missions.
Timeline
November 1, 2026: Global Kindness Season begins.

Market Landscape
The initiative uses the Global Coherence Project 2.0 to quantify social impact, marking a transition toward data-driven philanthropic measurement. It follows a growing trend of organizations moving from qualitative reporting to using integrated digital platforms for verifying collective social metrics.
Businesses looking to enhance their community impact should evaluate the logistical requirements for tracking service hours through the initiative's portal. Leadership should monitor the campaign's reporting standards to ensure alignment with existing internal corporate social responsibility KPIs.
The takeaway
Large-scale service initiatives provide a scalable framework for organizations to report measurable social impact. Operators should review the upcoming campaign portal to determine if participation aligns with the company's Q4 and Q1 community engagement goals.
