About Greater Good Charities

Greater Good Charities works to help people, pets, and the planet by mobilizing in response to need and amplifying the good. To date, we've invested over $750M in cash grants, in-kind supplies, and direct programmatic support.

Greater Good Charities is proud to meet the 17 goals of the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda. Learn more about each goal and how our multifaceted programs and initiatives are transforming the world.



The 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development provides a blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet - now and into the future. These Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an urgent call for action by all countries in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth, all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

Your support of Greater Good Charities helps us address each of the 17 goals for people, pets, and the planet. Learn more about our efforts and get involved to amplify the good.
