Sometimes, the world feels a little too loud with bad news. And in all that noise, hope can feel like a soft voice we're struggling to hear. But even in those moments, each of us holds something powerful—the ability to lift someone up, change the course of their day, or simply remind them they're not alone. This is what a story of kindness is all about.

At 1GEN, we believe kindness is more than a virtue. It's a force. A spark that, once lit, spreads—lighting up lives, hearts, and communities. That's the soul behind our campaign: 1000 Stories of Kindness. This kindness campaign is not just about sharing feel-good moments; it's about harnessing the power of kindness to create meaningful change.

And now, we’re inviting you to be part of something truly special—a transformative movement that showcases the ripple effects of compassion. 💫

🌟 What Is 1000 Stories of Kindness?

It’s not just a campaign. It’s a shared heartbeat across 1GEN, pulsing with the potential to make kindness count in ways we've never seen before. Launched through our oneCATALYST App, this movement encourages every member of our team to do one simple, beautiful thing: choose kindness, then share that kindness story with the world. It's about creating a living archive of hope—one act, one story at a time.

Whether it’s buying someone a meal, mentoring a student, checking in on a colleague, or simply offering a genuine smile—your story matters. Because it doesn't take grand gestures to make a real difference. It just takes heart and the willingness to perform a good deed.

Together, we're building a collection of kindness stories that demonstrate the endless possibilities of human compassion.


🌊 Why It Matters: From One Ripple to a Wave

Kindness is one of those rare things that grows the more we give it. What started as a simple idea has already begun blooming into something beautifully unexpected, proving that sharing is caring in the most profound way.

Here are some inspiring stories of kindness in action:


  • 💚 A team member gifted a walker to a community member living with paralysis—restoring not just mobility, but dignity.

  • 💸 Another generously tipped a customer service provider at home—recognizing their hard work with gratitude.

  • 💊 Someone quietly donated much-needed medicine to a free hospital—ensuring care reached those who couldn’t afford it.


These moments? They’re not just check boxes on a campaign report. They’re real acts of kindness, driven by empathy, made possible by people who cared. And the most incredible part? This is only the beginning.

This year, we’re taking it even further. Welcome to #1000StoriesofKindness2k25 — and this time, it’s more engaging, more rewarding, and packed with new features on the oneCATALYST App to help us all spread kindness like never before.

Here’s Everything You Need to Know:


  • 📅 Goal: Every 1GEN team member is encouraged to share at least 12 acts of kindness across July—that’s about 3 stories per week.

  • 🤝 Big or Small, Every Act Counts: Helping a stranger, cheering up a friend, donating something useful, or even just being there for someone.

  • 📲 How to Share: Submit your story under the Explore Campaigns section in the app using the official campaign tag: #1000StoriesofKindness2k25

Yes, we’re aiming for 1,000 stories—but what we’re really collecting are 1,000 moments that remind us who we are and what we stand for.


  • We’re creating a repository of kindness resources to guide and inspire.

  • We’re proving that in a noisy world, kindness still cuts through.


And guess what? We’re just getting started.
