We stay. We listen. We solve.
At Greater Good Charities, we believe that doing good should do more.
That’s why we go beyond one-size-fits-all solutions to ask the most important question: What do you need from us?
Every answer we receive—whether from a shelter director, a beekeeper, a family in crisis, or a veterinarian working in the field—shapes our work. Because real impact starts with listening, and real change is built on trust.
What do we mean by “Good”?
To us, “good” isn’t just a passing grade or measure of something’s worth. We believe good is the inherent resilience and potential that every community already has. And with nearly two decades doing this work, we still stand in awe of communities’ capacity to rise, rebuild, and push forward—no matter what crisis or disaster they face. How’s that for “good”?
What sets us apart?

We Show Up Where We’re Needed Most
Disaster zones. Biodiversity hotspots. Overcrowded shelters. Forgotten towns. From conflict in Ukraine to hurricanes in the Southeast U.S., we go where others don’t—or can’t. And we stay as long as we’re needed. Because long-term recovery isn’t flashy, but it’s where healing really begins.
We Fill the Gaps Others Miss
Veterinarian shortages? We deploy high-quality, high-volume surgical teams. Stranded pollinators? We move 60,000+ gallons of syrup to save 10 billion bees. Devastated shelters? We rebuild them—alongside local partners, and with dignity. We don’t stop at the symptoms. We get to the root.
We Don’t Work Alone
Our impact is powered by 10,000+ partners—shelters, food banks, tribal leaders, schools, scientists, and volunteers. Whether it's flying adoptable pets to new homes or installing shatterproof windows in Ukrainian hospitals, we’re in it together.
We Build for the Long Haul
We invest in infrastructure and community capacity, not just emergency aid. Pre-positioned warehouses. Monthly aid routes. Local partnerships. Global logistics. When crisis hits, we're ready—and when the headlines fade, we're still there.

Delivering Over $1 Billion in Critical Aid and Counting
Last year alone, we reached 650 communities across 21 countries, delivering life-changing support when and where it was needed most. And we’re just getting started.
Our approach
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique.
Every program starts by asking communities what they need—not assuming we already know. This grounds our work in real experience and fosters trust.
We mobilize within hours. In the 2025 LA wildfires, we were one of the first international responders on the ground—within two hours.
Needs shift. So we adapt. We use feedback loops, local knowledge, and real-time data to guide every action—ensuring we deliver exactly what’s needed, when it’s needed.
We don’t wait for traditional funding or conventional solutions. We pilot, partner, co-create, and problem-solve our way through the toughest challenges.
Why choose us?
We’re not just protecting people, animals, and the environment.
We’re preserving dignity. Strengthening communities. Safeguarding futures.
And we’re doing it with humility, expertise, and heart.
Greater Good Charities exists to amplify the good already in every community. Join us in showing up—thoughtfully, boldly, and with purpose.
