A simple idea:

Do Good Better

Greater Good Charities was founded on a belief that small actions, when multiplied, can change the world.

We are nearly two decades into this journey of mobilizing in response to need and filling critical aid gaps at the intersection of people, animals, and the environment. What began as a way to mobilize compassion online has grown into a global movement that meets critical unmet needs.

From disaster response and recovery to other types of ongoing crisis, with your help, we’ve helped millions of people recover, saved countless pets, and protected critical ecosystems.  

We start by asking a simple question: “What do you need?” By listening thoughtfully, responding flexibly, and solving creatively, together we amplify the inherent strength in every community we serve. 

Our Mission

Greater Good Charities helps people, animals, and the environment by mobilizing in response to need and amplifying the good.
