By Emma Castleberry<\/p>\n

Shelly Tygielski wears many hats: mindfulness teacher, producer, philanthropist, author, community organizer, wife and mother among them. \u201cThe unifying thread is putting more love and kindness into the world,\u201d says Shelly. \u201cThat\u2019s the litmus test. If it doesn\u2019t do that, then I don\u2019t say yes to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shelly now lives with her husband in Asheville, but when the COVID-19 pandemic began, she was living in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. On the night of March 14, 2020, Shelly created two simple online forms: one titled \u201cGet Help\u201d and one titled \u201cGive Help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within less than a day, she had hundreds of requests on both forms. This was the beginning of the mutual aid movement Pandemic of Love (POL), which has grown into a global movement with more than 4,000 volunteers, more than 4.5 million people connected for support and more than $100 million in direct transactions since its inception. \u201cWhat POL has done is that it\u2019s given people a sense of empowerment and the ability to not feel completely hopeless,\u201d Shelly says.<\/p>\n

\"\"Suzi Israel manages the Asheville chapter of POL. She first met Shelly when she started volunteering for the movement at the beginning of the pandemic. \u201cShelly has helped me to truly see that everyone has something to offer to help someone, even when they do not believe in themselves,\u201d says Suzi. \u201cThe entire organization is run by a group of dedicated volunteers. We are conduits of change and we help build communities of care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shelly has written two books: Sit Down To Rise Up: How Radical Self-Care Can Change the World<\/em>, and How We Ended Racism: Realizing a New Possibility in One Generation<\/em>, co-authored by Justin Michael Williams. She holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Miami and a Master\u2019s Degree from Columbia University, and she is currently pursuing a doctorate in Philanthropic Leadership at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University. Her dissertation is focused on mutual aid and the decolonization of philanthropy. \u201cI\u2019m looking at whether it makes sense for us to appeal to the US government and to Congress to modernize the nonprofit laws and IRS code to allow for the formalization of mutual aid organizations in this country,\u201d she says. \u201cRight now, mutual aid organizations such as Pandemic of Love don\u2019t get any tax credits as an organization. The system that we have from a federal perspective is archaic. It doesn\u2019t meet the needs of or speak to all of the types of philanthropy that are happening in this country today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The direct, peer-to-peer method of giving facilitated by mutual aid organizations like POL is antithetical to the existing nonprofit complex, which Shelly says \u201cwas made initially to reward wealthy white men and their families and to preserve their wealth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shelly is quick to clarify that this is not a dismissal of nonprofits as a whole, because many are doing crucial work and endeavoring to be more transparent.<\/p>\n

The core premise of the decolonization of philanthropy is that people should reap the same benefits for offering direct help to their neighbors as they do when using nonprofit channels. \u201cIf your neighbor needs help with rent or groceries or whatever, you\u2019re not getting a tax write-off because you didn\u2019t channel it through a non-profit organization,\u201d she says. \u201cSo, in a way, we\u2019re penalizing people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shelly\u2019s ultimate goal, with her books, her community leadership, her dissertation and her daily life, is to empower people to take whatever step they can towards goodness. \u201cI like to lean on this beautiful proverb that has become a mantra for me,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018We should each tend to the area of the garden that we can reach.\u2019 We are so busy looking at other people\u2019s gardens or the forest as a whole and we don\u2019t focus on the one thing we can do. I\u2019m going to make my garden the best it can be.\u201d<\/p>\n
