Our mission

KEEP CALM is a nonprofit, and all of this is free. Our mission is to put the practical tools of a good life within reach of everyone, at no cost and in their own language: the energy to go after what you want, the people to enjoy it with, and the confidence to get past whatever stands in the way.

KEEP CALM INC is a United States 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. We publish and give away 500 plain-language, evidence-informed articles on fitness and food, money and career, love and friendship, focus and mastery, and leading yourself and other people well, in 36 languages across more than 19,000 pages, along with free posters, songs, games, narrated Intentions that end in one small thing to do today, and directories of real support services listed by country. No ads, no paywall, and we never sell your data.

More about who we are

Every song is free

Somebody already paid for the one you just played.

Not us. A member. That is the whole arrangement, and it only holds if it keeps happening.

What it costs us

Every game is free

Ten minutes on a train is enough.

Small games for stress, focus and the long way home. No ads, no score to chase, nothing to buy. Members are the reason there is no price on any of it.

Play a game

Wear the one that sounds like you. Every order keeps poster making free for everybody else.

For somebody having a hard week

Members lift others through hard days.

No overhead speech and no guilt. Just somebody getting something good on the day they needed it, and paying nothing for it.

What it costs us

Free, in thirty six languages

Nobody has ever paid to use any of this.

Members are the only reason that sentence is true, and the only reason it stays true.

What it costs us

Made by people like you

The next person who needs this has not arrived yet.

When they do, it should already be here and already be free. That part is up to us.

Support the nonprofit

KEEP CALM INC is a United States 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, EIN 33-2117386. Everything here is free to read, play, hear and print. Gifts from people who can spare one are what keep it free for the people who cannot.

Where the money goes. A gift pays for translating the library into 36 languages, for the servers that hand out more than 19,000 free pages, and for the cost of generating the free songs, games and Intentions. Nothing in the shop is priced by feel either: every price is what the printer charges us, doubled and rounded up to the next .99. On a $48.99 tri-blend tee the printer takes $24.09 and the card fee is about $1.72, so about $23.18 is left; on a $9.99 poster print about $4.52 is left. That remainder is not profit. It goes back into shipping, storage, hosting and the free library, and a nonprofit corporation has no owners and no shareholders to pay it out to.
