About Us

Mission
At Letters of Gold, our mission is to ignite the power of written words to create positive change in the world. We inspire individuals to connect, empathize, and take action by writing letters to diverse groups in need around the globe. Through our online platform and engaging events, we strive to foster compassion, understanding, and hope, making a lasting impact on individuals, communities, and society.
​
Why We Started This Organization
 We believe that amidst the digital age, the art of letter writing holds immense potential to bridge gaps and create lasting connections. Our platform provides a space where individuals can express their support through the written word. For this reason we started Letters of Gold, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that offers a unique and simple way for people around the world to help in times of need, by writing letters of love.
​
Letters of Gold is a compassionate organization harnessing the power of handwritten letters to connect people in need. We curate monthly letter-writing campaigns for diverse causes, from disadvantaged children to refugees. We also organize events like book drives and fundraisers to make a tangible impact. Join us in spreading hope, one letter at a time, and creating a brighter future together.
