Taking a page from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory.

Spread the Positive supports non-profits that address society’s basic needs.  When people are in survival mode, their behavior is motivated by, well, surviving.  That doesn’t leave room for much else.  However, if we first meet their safety and physiological needs, we can then cultivate love and belongingness, build esteem, and reach the sweet spot of self-actualization.  Here, we can strive to fulfill our human potential and be solution-centered.  We become concerned for the welfare of humanity and develop strong moral and ethical standards.  In a space of self-actualization, instead of focusing on what goes wrong, we can focus on what goes right.

By helping people address their basic needs, we empower them to show up as the best versions of themselves and build thriving communities.
