The week is promoted by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, which is a non-profit established in 1995. Their mission, as stated on their website, is "to practice kindness and to pass it on to others." 

The site has resources for how to practice kindness in both small and large ways plus resources for educators. There is also a lot more to learn on their Facebook page and Twitter.
