Good Foundation

Good+Foundation is committed to upending multi-generational poverty. We utilize an innovative approach to father engagement, we work to alter systems + policies to create long-lasting change, and we meet the everyday needs of mothers, fathers, and caregivers through donations of essential goods and financial grants. With an early focus on mothers and children, Good+ expanded programming in 2010 to strengthen support for non-custodial and formerly incarcerated fathers to address one of the root causes of cyclical poverty: father absence. Today, the organization partners with a national network of social service programs to pair goods – such as cribs, car seats and diapers – with mental health support, workforce development, co-parenting classes, preparation for the high school equivalency exam and more. By giving fathers tools, dignity and opportunities to re-engage with their families, mothers are getting more support, children are getting greater access to their fathers and men are learning how to become the dads they want to be. Good+Foundation has offices and warehouses in New York City and Los Angeles and strategically distributes more than $7 million worth of goods each year across the country. In 2020, 92 percent of expenses went directly back into Good+ programs. The organization has earned nine consecutive 4-star ratings on Charity Navigator – the highest rating possible – as well as a GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency and accreditation by the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance for transparency, efficiency and operations.
