Matthew Good Foundation

The Matthew Good Foundation was the idea of Tim Good and Matthew Good, both sixth generation custodians of the Good family business – John Good Group. Passionate about the business being a force for good, Tim and Matthew agreed that every year the family business would donate a proportion of profits to the Foundation, so that employees could apply for funds to support the charities they care about. Tragically, while creating the Foundation, Matthew passed away suddenly while taking part in the Humber Half Marathon while raising money for charity. In a tribute to Matthew, the Foundation was launched in his memory. Our first project funded research and promoted safety and best practice in race medicine and the treatment of illnesses commonly found during marathons and other similar events. Today, we work worth with a range of businesses, stakeholders and individuals and partner them with small, innovative charities to deliver positive social impact. Our experience of working closely with small charitable organisations has highlighted that despite making a significant impact on the world around them, there is a funding gap that can be difficult for them to bridge as they take their next steps to growth. We partner with businesses who have a genuine desire to make a difference to people, planet, and their communities. Our tailored charitable giving programmes accommodate different needs and budgets, and we tailor all our packages to deliver our partners' unique charitable objectives.
