Putting empathy into action, one community at a time

Our service and community grants have fueled transformative projects nationwide, empowering everyday Humanists to show up for their neighbors and build inclusive spaces of community care.

In 2026, we awarded 101 grants to changemakers across the country. The American Empathy Project had a simple goal: get people in a room, together, helping their neighbors.
