Better Kids for a Better World!
The Institute has created a special fund, the Heartwood Consortium, to provide curriculum kits for schools wanting the program but unable to afford it. Many such schools have already been identified in a variety of locations, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, and California. Requests from such schools are increasing.

Please consider helping Heartwood by making a donation. Your gift will help a school full of children who may not have other opportunities to learn about Courage, Loyalty, Justice, Respect, Hope, Honesty, and Love. It will help their teachers, families, and communities, and ultimately, our nation. It will also help Heartwood Institute to achieve its goals. You will be supporting an undertaking that combines powerful hope with proven methods—meaningful stories have always been the primary way of passing on values and providing role models. Donating one kit costs $430 (delivered to a school, including administration and shipping); donating kits for an entire K-6 elementary school costs $3,000 (seven kits, including administration and delivery). Heartwood’s address and phone number appear at the bottom of the page.
