Courtney Martin founded the Secret Society for Creative Philanthropy. It's not about giving grandiose amounts. Or about giving everything you have. It's simply about giving, and doing so in a creative fashion. The article is awesome and gives details about what ten different people did with $100.
I particularly like this part:
Or what if every average Joe just made a pact with his five best friends that they would get together once a year and share how they donated their money? To start, they’d surely get around to actually donating that money: and yes, accountability is as much the point for Ms. Martin as celebration.
That is so true. I love this entire concept! The fact that this Secret Society exists puts a huge smile on my face, and I can't wait to see what future creative philanthropic gestures they come up with!
Hi, I'm Melissa! Welcome to my blog! I believe that kindness can change the world, so it's my mission to spread the concept of being nice, as simple as that may sound. I hope you'll have a look around!
Do you have a NICE story you'd like to share? Maybe one you've stumbled upon or something that has affected you personally? If so, 
Here's a list of NICE folks who have mentioned Operation NICE on their site or supported us by using our badge. Thank you so much!

How fantastic! I love the idea of seeing how far just a bit of money can go. Too often we seem to think it has to be BIG to be worthwhile.
