About

NEST4US is a 501(c)3 nonprofit formed as a philanthropic platform built upon kindness, generosity, and social good. Our mission is to make the world better through kindness by mobilizing volunteers worldwide to advance progress on societal issues and spark equitable solutions for the greater good. Through five core programs, we address 14+ of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and a plethora of societal issues including global hunger, climate change, quality education, poverty, sustainability, women empowerment, equity, etc. Our overall vision is to empower people of all demographics to create a more compassionate and inclusive world.

Mission Statement

Through long-lasting collaborations with international organizations, NGOS, schools, and corporations, we have impacted tens of thousands in 30+ countries across 6 continents.

  • NEST Nurtures focuses on tackling global hunger, poverty, and food waste through feeding the hungry, food rescues, and large-scale service projects. We advance food loss prevention efforts by organizing hunger-related service opportunities, hosting sustainability workshops, and advocating for zero waste through awareness campaigns.
  • NEST Tutors provides continued quality education to people worldwide. After witnessing the transformative effects of continued education in our own community, we set our sights on providing academic resources, leadership experience, cultural awareness, scholastic guidance, ESOL lessons, instructional training (content and critical literacy), and emotional support.

  • NEST Kares aims to instill kindness as a lifestyle rather than a one-time action through the assembly of blessing bags and treat bags, creation of kindness notes, engagement in virtual kindness movements, and execution of random acts of kindness for community heroes, senior citizens, and the homeless community.
  • NEST Buddies Birthday-in-a-Box program was created to serve underprivileged children and low-income families, because we believe that every kid deserves to celebrate their birthday, regardless of socioeconomic status.
  • NEST Inspires is a leadership program with a mission to Network, Empower, Succeed, and Transform! This program involves the facilitation of interactive workshops and webinars that grant thousands worldwide an opportunity to engage with notable speakers and activists, while building meaningful networks that breed decisive societal change. These workshops approach an array of topics from leadership and mental health to kindness and sustainability. We have connected with organizations globally to elevate international voices working towards addressing these matters.

We also coordinate and execute hundreds of service projects as part of our generosity movement, in honor of global days of service including Good Deeds Day, International Volunteer Day, World Kindness Week, MLK Day of Service, Earth Day, Random Acts of Kindness Week, Global Youth Service Day, Giving Tuesday, 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance, Global Volunteer Month, etc. In addition to large-scale service projects such as our Blessing Bag Project and Sandwich Assembly Project, weve organized Rice Up Against Hunger events, Hope in A Bag projects, Kits4Kids events, Notes of Hope initiatives, Goodies4Good projects, etc. which provide our volunteers a diverse array of philanthropic opportunities to give back passionately.
