So while World Gratitude Day may have passed, we’re still celebrating the people who make the Gratitude Network what it is every single day.
From nonprofit leaders and their teams to coaches, mentors, donors, partners, and our boards and advisory councils, we’re incredibly grateful for YOU and the impact you make around the world.
Here’s to the changemakers in our Network and to carrying that spirit of gratitude forward every day. 🌎❤️
🌍 A Journey of Gratitude: Some people choose between the discipline of the mind and the freedom of the body. Rebecca Davis built a way to need both.💃
Meet Rebecca Davis, Executive Director of MindLeaps and a 2018 Gratitude Network Fellow. ✨
Rebecca grew up loving two different worlds—the sharpness of a good challenge in the classroom, and the creativity and expression that dance unlocked in her body. Rather than choosing one, she found a way to bring them together for the children who needed it most.
MindLeaps was founded in 2014 on a striking idea: that dance and data could open lifelong pathways for underserved youth. Through a curriculum that uses movement to build seven core social-emotional and cognitive skills, MindLeaps meets children where they are—and helps them go further than they imagined.
Today, MindLeaps reaches 3,400 children and families every year across five countries, spanning four nations in Africa and reaching all the way to New York City. Rebecca’s work is a reminder that growth doesn’t have to follow just one rhythm—sometimes the body leads where the mind hasn’t gone yet. 🪇
Why leaders keep coming back to the Gratitude Network Summit. 💛
Year after year, attendees tell us the tools matter, but the people matter more — it’s the peer huddles, the late-night conversations, the reminder that you’re not carrying this work alone. This year, we’re leaning further into that: more peer-led discussions, deeper breakout sessions, and space built for genuine connection.
🌍 Kujenga Ujima 2026: Our Inaugural East African Summit!
Last week, Gratitude Network brought together over 40 social-impact leaders from across East Africa for our first-ever regional summit in Nairobi. Fellows connected in person, swapped hard-won lessons, and dug into a question every one of them is wrestling with: how do we collaborate to optimize support and resources so our organizations can grow — and reach more of the communities who need us?
Thank you to every leader who showed up ready to learn, share, and build together. This is just the beginning. 💛
