You are capable of great things. You are loved. You have a team of supporters thinking of you and cheering you on everyday. We believe in you.

Did you know that about yourself? When was the last time someone spoke encouragement to you?

Once a month, our team dedicates 30 minutes of our day to share encouragement with people who may not hear encouraging words often through our Kindness Collaborative Initiative. We use technology from our partner, City of Samaritans (www.samaritan.city/equip), to discover the story and goals of individuals experiencing extreme poverty or homelessness. We then send messages of encouragement to folks through the Samaritan app, and can even give a financial gift to help a person meet an immediate need.

So how can you get involved? Join the Kindness Collaborative Initiative! Then invite family members and friends, or even colleagues at work, to join you once a month in performing an act of kindness for an unhoused neighbor. The Samaritan app is a great starting point, but feel free to be creative! We like to take 10 minutes afterwards to share how the experience went.

Whatever you choose to do, shoot us a note at samaritancapitalfdn@gmail.com to let us know you're in. We'll follow up with you each month to hear how things are going.

"Sometimes just knowing that a random human being cares helps me to remember that I am not my situation. My situation is temporary." -Katherine

"Thank you for all of your generosity and kind words. I'm floored and overwhelmed by the kindness." -Ginger

"To know that there are strangers that are proud of me and want to support and encourage me is so motivating!" -Laura

Travelnitch is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that needs help developing family-centric travel content to engage kids (and sometimes parents) in fun and innovative ways. If you are a writer who loves to travel, this could be the perfect fit for you—turn your own passion into an inspiring story for our readers!

We are currently seeking volunteers who love to travel and write about it. You should be able to craft meaningful content in the following categories:

— Travelnitch Eats: Whether it’s a new take on an old world recipe or a deep dive into a city’s best eateries, this is for foodies (young and old) who travel to eat.

— Family Travel: We love sharing hands-on activities that get kids (and sometimes whole families) excited about travel.

— Virtual Adventures: Take a deep-dive into the destination of your choice. Highlight fun & quirky sights and exotic excursions to help kids build the ultimate travel wishlist. Think of it as a travel guide, written for young explorers.

— Strange and Spooky: These stories introduce young readers to strange and spooky phenomenon from around the world. From historical legends to natural phenomenon, if it’s weird or bone-chilling we want to write about it.

— Travelnitch Outdoors: A passion for travel can stem from a love of the outdoors. Share your favorite family-friendly campsites, hiking trails, and outdoor activities to help families feel more connected to mother nature.

We will provide a list of topics, but also encourage our writers to make recommendations. All stories are shared on our website and across various social channels. They include an author’s bio with an optional link to your own portfolio or site.

As a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of volunteers to help further our mission. Together, we engage families through thoughtful content and informative, online programming. We'd love your support—reach out today!
