Grateful Gifts 2025
Live Gratefully, Give Gratefully
The violence that comes from fear is replaced with nonviolence, the rivalry that is based on fear is replaced by trust and cooperation, the greed that is based on fear is replaced by trust that there is enough. All of that is what grateful living teaches you and therefore grateful living has an enormous power not only to change individual lives, but change society.
Br. David Steindl-Rast
Twenty-five years ago, a simple yet profound idea took root: living gratefully has the power to transform not just individual lives, but entire communities and society itself.
Today, we’re witnessing that transformation in action. When we asked you about the impact of living gratefully last month,
- 93% report enhanced perspective
- 90% report increased meaning in their lives
- 90% report increased joy
- 88% report increased hope
- 88% report deeper compassion; and
- 85% report increased ability to navigate life’s challenges
But we’re just getting started in our response to meeting the world’s heartaches with the transformative practice of living gratefully. With your support, we’re ready to expand our reach with new daily practice tools, more Grateful Gatherings, new workshops, new in-person retreats, and meaningful partnerships that will touch even more lives in the year ahead.
Your gift today helps us continue our shared work in the world.
Give gratefully today, so we can all live gratefully together!
