A Valentine's Day Note From Hearts on Fire

unnamed-1.jpg

Four years ago, our Founder, Jill Iscol, passed the torch to the next generation and we embarked on an adventure to grow and transform IF Hummingbird Foundation’s Hearts on Fire Program. 

In the beginning, Hearts on Fire was created to inspire people from all walks of life to join the social change movement by profiling extraordinary individuals, our Visionaries, applying their talents and passions to improve the lives of others.

In 2016, inspired by IF Hummingbird Foundation’s early work, we formally launched our Visionary Initiative to foster and support our Visionaries by assisting them with their everyday concerns and needs. 

The framework was built to provide connections, opportunities, tailored deep-dive support, and a sacred community of like-minded individuals for peer-to-peer collaboration.

As we continue to highlight new Visionary leaders and expand our Visionary Initiative, we have also launched our Educational Initiative which brings speakers into the classroom via Skype in order to inspire students to #BeTheSpark of change they want to see in the world.

We thank you for all your love and support and for helping us get to where we are today.  Please see below for a snapshot of the people, partnerships and programs we’re honored to highlight.

With love,
Kiva, Sara & Zoe
