Collaborations are special, powerful and magical. Through SixDegrees.org, the community came together to assemble 2,000 youth resource kits. As educators, it's imperative to instill in children the significance of holistic self-care, transcending beyond academic focuses. These kits catered to comprehensive child development, offering not only reading materials but also essentials for personal well-being such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, high-quality athletic socks, and jump ropes. Adding a heartfelt touch, thoughtful encouragement cards crafted by high schoolers from the Just Keep Livin' Foundation were included for our elementary school students supported by the Andy Roddick Foundation. When messages like "Be you and never change" and "You are magical and enough" resonate among our youth, the impact extends far beyond what we anticipate. We extend our gratitude to SixDegrees.org for orchestrating this meaningful day, fostering community engagement, and illuminating the invaluable work carried out by nonprofits in Austin, TX.
They are an incredible partner to work with, work through every detail to see outstanding results, and have extraordinary staff.

Working with the SixDegrees.org team was a remarkable experience. They are the epitome of professionalism, demonstrating a deep understanding of their mission while maintaining a compassionate approach to our needs. Their ability to execute tasks efficiently and effectively was truly impressive. Despite the short time we worked together, they left a lasting impression with their thoughtful approach and the experience they created for our organization and our community.
The SixDegrees team were exceptional partners; truly some of the most understanding, caring advocates for our community that I have come across in philanthropy work. Working with them was enjoyable, meaningful, and an overwhelming success!
Our partners at Six Degrees provided tremendous value and impact for our organization. In addition to the wonderful donations and community gathering we were able to participate in, Six Degrees offered ample opportunity and shared value in helping us tell our mission of our organization and promote our cause, helping provide more services for our youth community in Utah. The youth kits that Six Degrees provided to us have been invaluable and are so significant to our youth.
Thank you for the commitment of Stacy and her team for their partnership and we're looking forward to creating more magic and launching more collaborative initiatives in the future!
We loved working with the entire team at Six Degrees that culminated in a care kit build at Payson High School on April 20, 2024, commemorating the 40th anniversary of the release of Footloose, starring Kevin Bacon. Our charity, Friends of the Coalition (aka - Food & Care Coalition), was able to participate and work alongside Kevin and members of the Six Degree staff and volunteers from Payson High School and surrounding community to assemble 5,000 care kits, of which, 1,250 was received and being distributed to our homeless community located throughout the valley.
Six Degrees was fantastic to work with. Six Degrees assembled backpacks for our LGBTQ+ youth who are unstably housed and experiencing homelessness in Washington DC. To say these backpacks were the perfect way to support individuals living outside is an understatement. Each item was thoughtfully curated and included with the exclusive purpose to support LGBTQ+ youth who are experiencing homelessness. Often times when supplies are distributed to the most marginalized populations they are leftovers, afterthoughts, or aren't truly intentional in meeting the actual needs of who we serve. Six Degrees did their research! The backpacks were durable and will serve as a way to support LGBTQ+ youth who are unstably housed keep their belongs with them and safe. The items packed in the backpacks are usually not included in these types of kits (razors, deodorant, a pair of Bombas socks, water bottle, and wipes to clean off with)! Thank you Six Degrees for your incredible work and contribution to LGBTQ+ youth and look forward to partnering in the future!
Everyone always loves Kevin Bacon.....but when you get to know him and the work he does through his incredible organization, it takes things to another level. I have the privilege of partnering with Six Degrees for a benefit concert we are working on together and have been beyond impressed with the organization which is run by the incredible Stacy Huston. They have tremendous passion to do good and make the world a better place.
I have worked with SixDegrees.org on several events and auctions. Their team is very professional, organized, always responds in a very timely manner, and are enjoyable to work with. They support so many great causes and I will absolutely work with them again in the future. I highly encourage everyone to support this organization.
We recently worked on a joint project with sixdegrees.org. I am so impressed with the team at Six Degrees. They are professional, personable, and believe in what they are doing. I welcome the chance to work with them again.
My name is Phil Zahn and I have had the incredible privilege to work directly with SixDegrees.org on a campaign to bring hope and healing to the families effected by the Paradise CA fires.
In Partnership with Sackcloth & Ashes, our team traveled to CA to share a message of hope, unity, and love with many individuals and families. Not only did the executive Director (Stacy Huston) of Six Degrees give support and logistical help during the campaign, (schedule, video, social, press) she actually came with us! We spoke at a Homeless shelter, handed out donation Sackcloth & Ashes blankets, and joined a community meeting at the local church which has become a refuge for the city.
On a completely separate trip in Park City, UT during the campaign Kevin Bacon himself joined us at a different shelter to greet the friends staying there, hand out blankets personally, and build relationships with those in attendance. This obviously goes far above and beyond any expectations that we could have laid out in our initial discussions about working together ;)
Working with SixDegrees.org has been an overwhelming treat to our team, and we cannot say enough about their organization, and personal touch.

I’ve worked with and advised many NGOs over the years. What I appreciate the most about SixDegrees is that they support a wide variety of causes. In following their work, I find their openness in showing up for all different types of causes refreshing. Who doesn’t love the concept that we are all connected and we all have a responsibility to one another to sometimes just show up and roll up our sleeves? Good work SixDegrees. Hope to continue to see more from you.
Sometimes in the world of kind deeds and non profits, it can be a bit of an maze, with questions such as “well does this help a cause I care about?” “What makes this organization different from the others?” Etc. What makes SixDegrees.org is it’s wonderful and unique approach to sharing organizations ad causes, even giving smaller voices the opportunity to be heard. If there’s a denim drive or if there’s a need for a certain type of blood in local blood drives, I’ve been proud to see SixDegrees.org not only mention them, but even engage and ask more questions about them. This has helped give a larger platform to smaller groups or causes, that may have gotten lost in the shuffle a bit on social media. I applaud the good SixDegrees.org does and look forward to continued involvment and engagement with it in the future.
