Hi, I'm Tiffany!
The Philly Kindness Index is my love letter to the people and places doing meaningful work across Philly. From tiny grassroots teams juggling 12 hats at once to long-established nonprofits making big impact behind the scenes, I have an immense love for those doing real good.
After 15+ years in the nonprofit world, I’ve seen magic happen at every level. I’ve always gravitated toward the scrappy stuff — duct tape, heart, and borrowed folding tables. But I’ve also worked alongside powerhouse orgs with the reach to shake things up. Both matter. Both are here.
I love connecting people to real-world opportunities — especially the kind happening just around the corner.
I’ve built programs from scratch, supported mission-driven teams, and organized volunteers whose generosity, grit, and sheer presence have changed lives (often in ways they’ll never fully realize).
I love finding creative ways to lift up the work that matters most. I love showing people that doing good doesn’t have to be complicated … sometimes it’s just knowing where to start.
Everything here — from the research to the layout to the ridiculous number of Google Sheets involved — was created by one very detail-obsessed human (hi, it’s me) and a somewhat helpful tuxedo cat named Riley, who thinks she’s in charge of quality control, snacks, and morale.
Why did I build it? Because the good stuff — the real stuff — deserves to be easier to find.
Philly’s full of people doing incredible things, and I wanted to make a space that reflects that. If this helps you find your place, your people, or just a reason to believe in the city a little more … then I’m calling it a win. And so is your community.
