This holiday season, we’re inviting you to be part of something special and help make a difference in our world. Your generosity will go twice as far in supporting the Greater Good Science Center’s mission to promote well-being, compassion, and resilience across the globe.
Now more than ever, the GGSC is committed to fostering resilience, compassion, and connection in our world. In the face of overwhelming challenges like political polarization, a loneliness epidemic, and widespread anxiety, we are here to support your well-being and help you navigate these trying times with practical, research-based strategies.
One Greater Good reader recently shared:
Thank Goodness for GGSC!!! It is impossible to convey just how valuable what you have put together is for me, my wife, and I believe for so, so many others. It has been a lifebuoy at a time of feeling submerged. We will be returning to, discussing, and feeling into this material frequently over the coming days, weeks, and months.
The skills and stories we provide have helped countless people like this–and none of it would be possible without your generosity. Make a difference today with a gift to the Greater Good Science Center!
