VISION

Acts of Kindness for Mental Health Foundation (The AOK Project) is dedicated to building compassion, resilience and competency through creating circles of kindness. 

At the AOK Project, we bring joy and financial relief to the lives of children, youth and their families experiencing mental health challenges and financial hardship. We encourage them to complete the circle by generating acts of kindness to others. 

MISSION

The AOK Project provides wellness grants to children, youth, and their families who have been affected by mental health and are in need of financial support. In turn, the recipients are encouraged to provide acts of kindness to a person or organization of their choice. This creates and fosters circles of kindness.

Wellness grants support mental health and recovery by reducing stress, increasing happiness and improving mood, self esteem and social connectedness. The grants can be used for a wide variety of purposes including paying a bill, registering for a course, purchasing items such as groceries, sports equipment or art supplies, or paying for healthcare needs.
