Send us a textHave you ever wondered how small acts of kindness can transform lives? Lisa Demmi returns to the Kindness Matters podcast to share the incredible journey of her nonprofit, The Small Magic Foundation, which is creating pathways to success for underserved youth in the Tampa Bay area.The foundation stems from Lisa's personal philosophy that meaningful change doesn't require grand gestures or substantial resources—just intentional acts of kindness she calls "small magic." What began as a concept for goal-setting has evolved into a structured nonprofit offering disadvantaged youth access to mentorship, creative expression, and practical life skills they might otherwise never experience.Lisa shares heartwarming stories about the foundation's early initiatives: gifting musical instruments to committed students, hosting rock painting events where children discover their artistic talents, and planning workshops on everything from financial literacy to leadership skills. The joy in her voice is palpable as she describes the moment when a child realizes "I am an artist" after creating something beautiful with their own hands.Beyond just teaching skills, the Small Magic Foundation aims to bridge generational gaps and show children that adults can be trusted allies in their development. By assembling a diverse board that reflects the communities they serve, Lisa ensures the foundation addresses genuine needs rather than making assumptions about what children require. Her approach emphasizes sustainability—older participants will eventually return as mentors, creating a continuous cycle of giving back.Ready to witness how small actions can create profound change? Listen to this inspiring conversation about kindness, opportunity, and the magic that happens when someone simply believes in a child's potential. Then visit smallmagicfoundation.org to discover how you can contribute to this meaningful mission through volunteering, mentorship, or donation.This podcast is a proud member of the Mayday Media Network.

From notes of affirmation to gift cards, Portland nonprofit Wildly Kind aims to spread acts of kindness to strangers  LONG SYNOPSIS: Wildly Kind is on a mission to spread acts of kindness to strangers, not only in its home base of Portland but also across the nation and around the world. The Portland Tribune recently profiled the three-year-old nonprofit and the national media attention it received for a pop-up event it held in February, which involved setting up a phone booth for people to record anonymous messages of hope and encouragement for others to hear.  Executive director and founder Kayla Lamoreaux says Wildly Kind grew out of a desire to affirm and maintain her sobriety from alcohol through fostering “a community of kindness” by handing out flowers or self-care kits or paying for a stranger’s groceries at the check-out line. Wildly Kind has now grown to include volunteers, corporate sponsors and more than 100 “ambassadors” who go out to perform acts of kindness in more than 20 states and six countries. Ambassadors pay $20 a month to receive a branded t-shirt, a monthly newsletter with ideas for spreading kindness, priority sign-ups for pop-up events and other perks. Lamoreaux joins us to share more details about Wildly Kind and its unique nonprofit model.
