We aim to dismantle generational poverty by pairing critical goods with innovative services for underserved parents.
About us
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.

Repost Jessica Seinfeld on Instagram @goodplusfdn had a special holiday gift giving program for children separated from their parents by incarceration today @cmomnyc. The Family Connections program at Children's Museum of Manhattan reunites children with their parents who are incarcerated on Rikers Island at the museum. The parents and kids get to spend the afternoon together and play, do crafts, hear music and stories and eat together to nurture those essential bonds. I love this very special program and CMOM is one of my favorite organizations in NYC.

We’re thrilled to share our recent newsletter, which recaps the impact of this holiday tradition. Take a read and let us know your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/dFAY8mFT

Good+Foundation partners with more than 125 innovative anti-poverty programs across the country. This week we are excited to host our 2024 Grantee Partners with convenings in NY and LA. The convenings offer an opportunity for partners to connect with one another, share experiences, and leave with actionable strategies to enhance their team’s resilience and wellness. The speaker for the NY program will be Dr. Melissa Ramrattan, PhD, a clinical psychologist and Director of the Family Treatment & Rehabilitation Program at Montefiore Health System/University Behavioral Associates and will provide an overview of risk assessment when interacting directly with clients. This session in LA will be led by Alda Merino-Caan, who will provide practical tools and insights on how to build personal resilience and contribute to a wellness-centered team culture. We look forward to learning from these educators and seeing our partners tomorrow. Stay tuned for updates! #nonprofit #granteepartner
