Inspiring Generosity, One Story at a Time

At Generous Classroom, we believe generosity has the power to transform lives.

Through storytelling, education, and action, we’ve inspired over 125 million people to live more generously—and we’re just getting started. Join us in creating a world where giving is contagious.

Our Story

Generous Classroom began in 2010 with a simple yet powerful mission: to inspire people to live generously.

Our founder’s passion for giving was sparked early on by her grandfather, whose example of a generous life left a lasting impact. That spark has grown into a movement, one that uses the power of storytelling and timeless principles to ignite generosity around the world.

From the start, our team has been dedicated to finding new ways to fulfill this vision. Whether through our award-winning short films, impactful programs that teach students the value of generosity, or helping businesses foster a culture of giving, we believe in the transformative power of generosity.

Today, Generous Classroom has inspired over 125 million people globally, but we're just getting started. We invite you to join us on this journey as we continue to make generosity a way of life.

A Note From Our Founder

I started Generous Classroom in 2010 with the goal to inspire people to live generously. My grandpa modeled the generous life when I was young and it stuck with me! To know me is to know I have an entrepreneurial spirit and a life passion for giving. Since the beginning our team has been finding new ways to full fill our vision though world class short films, proven programs that teach students the generous life along with helping companies create a culture of generosity. Combining the power of story and timeless principles Generous Classroom has inspired over 125 million people around the globe! I invite you to join us.
