2025 Kid Kindness Grant Winners!

Congratulations to all our winners!

Kindness Grows Here is thrilled to introduce the 2025 class of Kid Kindness Grant winners, selected from a pool of 140 applications—the second highest number received since the program’s inception in 2018. This year, we are awarding a total of 48 grants for $17,419.00 to a remarkable group of students spanning grades 1 through 12 across 15 states. From bridging generational gaps and comforting hospital patients to tackling food insecurity and transforming school culture, these projects prove that compassion is a powerful catalyst for change. They join a legacy of youth empowerment that has now seen over $96,000 awarded to children in 39 states, all working to build a kinder world.

We are particularly grateful to the partners who made it possible to say "yes" to even more innovative ideas this year. Thanks to the generous support of Anne Arundel Women Giving Together and the Courtney Cass Catalyst Fund, we were able to fund additional deserving projects in Anne Arundel County and Baltimore City, respectively. By investing in these young leaders, we are not just funding kindness projects; we are validating the voices of children and empowering them to create the change they wish to see. We celebrate their vision and look forward to watching kindness grow in communities across the country.
