Give the Gift of Greater Good Today!

What sustains people during difficult times? Connection, compassion, hope, and purpose — qualities at the core of the Greater Good Science Center’s mission.

Because of supporters like you, we have nurtured these qualities in millions of people around the world. Your support keeps our science-based resources freely available to all, spreading happiness and well-being on a massive scale.

With your support, the GGSC will continue to offer practical, research-backed resources — from our award-winning Greater Good magazine and Science of Happiness podcast to our trainings for teachers and parents — that help individuals feel empowered and inspired to care for one another in 2026.

As one reader said of our work recently:

It has really lifted my spirits and optimism in ways I didn’t think could happen.

Another told us:

You are a big part of the solution to what ails the human race.

Your support fuels programs that promote compassion, bridge divides, and strengthen well-being across families, schools, workplaces, and communities. Since the GGSC doesn't receive financial support from UC Berkeley, none of our work would be possible without your generosity.

And now you can make that generosity go even further: When you make your gift by December 31, it will be matched dollar for dollar by the GGSC’s founding donors!

As an expression of our gratitude, we hope you’ll enjoy one of this year's donor appreciation gifts listed to the right, including our new Science of Happiness Workbook, Daily Flourish Journal, GGSC hat and water bottle.

Make a difference and double your impact this holiday season with a gift to the Greater Good Science Center!
