Our Work

Good+Foundation is a leading national non-profit that works to dismantle multi-generational poverty by pairing tangible goods with innovative services for under-resourced fathers, mothers, and caregivers, creating an upward trajectory for the whole family.

Through a vetted network of nonprofits in New York City and Los Angeles, we get essential goods into the hands of families while connecting them with services and support that build long-term stability. Our volunteer program engages individuals and corporate groups in hands-on projects that help prepare essential goods for distribution to families.

Central to our work is a commitment to father engagement. We help address the barriers that keep fathers from being fully involved in their children's lives and give dads the tools and opportunities to strengthen their relationships with their children and families.

Beyond the families we reach directly, the Good+ Training Academy equips social service professionals with training and tools to better engage fathers and support the whole family. We also advocate for policy change to support families living in poverty and fathers' full participation in their children's lives.

"Week after week, I showed up for parenting and financial literacy classes. In exchange for hitting milestones, I earned diapers, toys, and books from Good+. These tools gave me self-esteem to feel like a capable dad."

Good+Foundation is partnering with Ascend at the Aspen Institute to address outdated child support laws through state-level reform by advocating for right-sized payments, co-parenting support and services, and alternatives to punishments for non-compliance.

The organization has, for the eleventh consecutive year, earned a 4-star rating 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.

“Our failure to help men become strong fathers today sets in motion a series of negative outcomes that will likely last decades. By better engaging fathers, we are giving moms – whose responsibilities and stress are endless – a co-parent. Investing in dads and giving them the opportunity to become part of the family helps children and builds stronger communities.”
