INSPIRING PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE
TO JOIN THE SOCIAL CHANGE MOVEMENT
“Hearts on Fire reminds us that we need to dream again, inspire again,
and act again.”
WHO WE ARE
Hearts on Fire identifies and showcases some of the most inspirational and committed individuals working to change the world for the better. Launched in 2014 following the release of the nonfiction book Hearts on Fire: Stories of Today's Visionaries Igniting Idealism into Action by Jill Iscol, Ed.D and Peter Cookson, the mission of Hearts on Fire is to inspire people from all walks of life to join the social change movement and to create and grow a community of like-minded individuals.
The Hearts on Fire Visionary Initiative brings together a diverse community of Visionaries - extraordinary individuals applying their talents and passions to improve the lives of others - and aims to provide tailored support to enhance their growth.
The Hearts on Fire Educational Initiative invests in the future by fostering and engaging the next generation of concerned and compassionate citizens. By telling the stories of today's Visionaries, the Initiative provides a platform for students to Be the Spark and become future leaders of social justice and change.
Hearts on Fire is a subsidiary of the IF Hummingbird Foundation, a family foundation established in 1989 to support domestic and international efforts to strengthen democracy and reduce the social, economic, and educational inequities that threaten it.
