At “A Little Extra Love” (ALEL), our foundational belief is that the threads of love and kindness weave together the fabric of humanity. We don’t just see ourselves as another non-profit; we are a movement. A movement to champion the transformative power that a little extra love, expressed through acts of kindness, can have on individuals and communities at large. Our endeavors aim not just to uplift spirits but to orchestrate a symphony of change, paving the way for a world that is not only happier and healthier but also just and compassionate.
Our commitment to this cause goes beyond mere words. Recognizing that amplifying impact often requires collaboration, we are establishing partnerships with a diverse array of entities, be it individuals, community groups, educational institutions, or fellow non-profits. One of the ways we bolster their benevolent initiatives is through our micro-grant program. These grants, ranging from $250 to $750, are channeled towards projects that echo our core values, focusing on community health, sustainability, education, and of course, acts of kindness.
