Overview

Mission

The kindness campaign is on a mission to create and provide accessible emotional health curriculum and programs to both children and adults in homes and classrooms.

What it reported doing in 2024

Tkc offers a one-of-a-kind emotional literacy curriculum for age 3 - adulthood. In 2018, tkc launched its signature programming to middle schools and high schools. Tkc is on a mission to create societal change across all ages through emotional awareness, empathy, community building, and most importantly, the development of a healthy self-image. We know bullying, loneliness, and isolation exists; instead of allowing theses states to go unchecked, we provide positive and accessible tools that promote emotional health awareness. Tkc is expanding to schools nationally and to corporations.

Operating model

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
