Our Story
A Million Acts of Love began as a global kindness campaign launched by 14-year-old Felix Townsin to honour his little sister, Lexi. After her tragic death, Felix made a promise: to inspire one million acts of love in her name.
By December 16, 2024—what would have been Lexi’s 12th birthday—the campaign had achieved its ambitious goal: one million acts of love. These were tracked through sign-ups, events, school projects, and community actions worldwide. But that milestone was only the beginning.
Today, the A Million Acts of Love Foundation continues that mission—uniting people, strengthening communities, and sparking positive change. Its flagship initiative, the A Million Acts of Love Grant Program, provides seed funding to youth with big hearts and bold ideas—whether it’s creating public art, recording a song, publishing a book to raise awareness, organizing a concert or bake sale to raise funds for a good cause, or starting a kindness club at school.
