Standing in the Gap

Join MONAT Gratitude Inc., as we stand in the gap to provide important educational resources, in the areas of the arts, music, entrepreneurship, and athletics, in our communities around the world. As you know by now, we are more than a community of entrepreneurs sharing haircare, skincare and wellness products. Together we are changing lives, and we’re so glad you’re here to join us on this journey!

Our Why

Cuts in education budgets across the world are causing important extracurricular programming to be eliminated. Nonprofit organizations are stepping in to fill these gaps in programming and to open up opportunities to children in underserved communities.

image

These activities help children with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking and inventiveness. They provide challenges for learners at all levels.

image

This programming reduces violence and school dropouts, while also increasing graduation rates end the likelihood that young people will pursue additional educational opportunities after high school.

image

These activities offer opportunities for students to learn the values of teamwork, individual and group responsibility, physical strength and endurance, competition, diversity, and a sense of culture and community.

Get Involved

image

Define your goal, choose a platform to use to collect funds, share your story and inspiration, invite friends and family to donate. No amount is too small – every $1 can make a positive impact.

image

We are investing in future generations of leaders.

Because today, our children may be 50% of our population, but they are 100% of our future!

Leadership Summit Raises $25,000!

Hundreds of MONAT Market Partners embraced their inner superheroes and joined us to run and walk as part of our annual Leadership Summit 5K race! We loved being able to come together virtually to support a great cause!

Recognizing Doctors and Hospital Workers

We are always grateful for the tireless work doctors and healthcare providers offer our communities, so we asked our MONAT team and Gratitude Ambassadors around the world to help us celebrate #DoctorsDay! With their support, we were able to gift hospitals in their local areas MONAT masks and products to pamper their doctors on this day! In total we gave 4,200 MONAT face masks and 6,900 MONAT products.

Meet Our Heroes

Also known as the MONAT Hero Award, the Chairman’s Award is presented each year to a Market Mentor or above nominated by other Market Partners. As one of the top three global awards presented by MONAT, this recognition celebrates Heroes whose business success is built upon a solid commitment to make a positive impact no matter where they are.

A MONAT Hero is someone who does more than lead a business and a team, devoting time and effort to giving back to the community. They volunteer, clean up, collect and donate, serve meals, raise funds, and make an impact wherever they go. This person embodies the spirit of giving, philanthropy, and gratitude, because a life of service to others is integral to what they believe.

“Gratitude is a way to live your life and creates so much joy! We all have something to be grateful for. And by living your life in gratitude, not only can you help others, but it opens the door for others to be inspired to give along with you! When you step out—big or small—it creates a trickle effect, and you will be amazed at all that can be achieved!”

“The beauty of Gratitude is that everyone can find their own unique passion and implement it for free. It doesn’t have to be some huge movement—most of them won’t be. Just remember, to the world you may be one person, but to one person you might be the world.”
