Music by Waves of Goodness
“As you go about your day, do one nice thing for someone in your circle of influence, in your own unique way.”
Who we are
We are a non-profit foundation that focuses on your unique value as an individual and the expansive influence you can have with meaningful acts of kindness. You have inherent and developed gifts and talents with more potential to affect others than you know.
Waves of Goodness is committed to sharing your goodness on a worldwide scale. Kindness Ambassadors are recipients of our wavecoins. These pass from person to person, the physical invitation to share your worth as an individual in a single, intentional act of kindness.
Look what we can accomplish in one year—2,772,536 acts of kindness.
From one hand to the next.
We created 1,000 copper; 1,000 silver; and 12 gold wavecoins. Minted and forged from precious metals, a wavecoin harnesses value we can all recognize. But it’s true value is in its purpose. Instead of being saved or spent as currency in an economic market, a wavecoin never spends time in a bank, passing from one hand to another as an invitation for good. It’s an investment in human kind.
Allen Kreutzkamp
Founder of Waves of goodness
The dream for this foundation started in 2008, with a story about 12 loaves of bread. The story shares the lesson that one act of kindness can ripple outward into the world as waves of goodness. And so was born our name and our purpose. When the websites and social media names were all available, it felt like further encouragement to continue forward and make this dream a reality.
Allen Kreutzkamp, the man who initiated this dream, saw the potential for each person to build a habit of one kind act a day. This goal came from his own experience. Throughout his life, he’d had bouts of depression and anxiety. He’d lived through very difficult moments, from youth, through adolescence, and even in adulthood. But when he’d find himself especially down, he noticed that his focus only on himself. So he decided to try something different: finding one nice thing to do for someone in his circle of influence, somewhere in his day. He did it with amazing success. When the focus changed from inward to outward, his emotional state and physical pain changed for the better. He found the day was easier, he felt more peace, and he had meaningful connections with other people. He was finding joy in his day, instead of regularly feeling discouragement.
This is why Waves of Goodness is always looking for ways to help those who come across our paths, with regular donations to other foundations and individuals who can use the aid. We’ve created wavecoins that will physically pass from person to person, just as kindness passes from one life to the next. But you don’t have to wait for the wavecoin launch to get involved. We invite everyone:
Along your way, in your unique and important way, do one nice thing for someone in your circle of influence.
Share your influence.
Multiply your kindness by posting to social media about what you’ve been doing. Show us—and your friends, family, the world—to spread your unique influence.
