Our Annual Report (pdf, 200kb) reminds us how thoroughly your kindness has risen up to meet our needs over the past six years and during 2007 in particular.  Thank you for fostering a world of grateful living.

Vision
A worldwide community dedicated to gratefulness as the core inspiration for personal change, international cooperation, and sustainable activism in areas of universal concern.

Purpose
To provide resources for living in the gentle power of gratefulness, which restores courage, reconciles relationships, and heals our Earth; and to create a global network of people who practice the art of life as gift.

Mission
To build up and expand our interactive website as the focus for a global community of people whose spiritual practice is grateful living.
To translate the universal message of gratefulness to address specific issues like cross-cultural communication, religious tolerance, alleviating poverty, and protecting our planet's environment.
To provide a unifying ethic that demonstrates we are not separate one from another, in an age of globalization that undermines our ethics and sense of worldwide community.
To offer workshops and retreats that increase people's awareness of gratefulness as a tool for personal healing and compassion towards others, a lifelong practice.
To partner with other organizations and institutions who want to explore how gratefulness can transform and energize their own work and mission.
To demonstrate the interconnectedness between gratefulness and the healthy flow of resources in a spirit of sufficiency.
To promote through print, radio, and television public awareness of gratefulness as a power for change.
