PermanentBACKGROUNDGood+Foundation was originally founded as Baby Buggy in 2001 by Jessica Seinfeld following the birth of her first child. What started as a small New York City charity addressing babies' needs has evolved into a major philanthropic organization that annually grants millions of dollars in products and services to proven anti-poverty programs serving mothers, fathers, and their children across the country.The organization partners intensively with a vetted network of social service programs to reach long-term solutions to the problem of systemic poverty. Good+Foundation does this by pairing goods – such as cribs, car seats, and diapers – with counseling, employment assistance, co-parenting classes, and more. Central to this objective is the organization’s focus on systemic and individual obstacles that exclude fathers from their children’s lives and well-being. By giving fathers tools, confidence, and opportunities to re-engage with their families, Good+ is improving outcomes for children.In 2020, Good+Foundation added Family Cash Grants to its in-kind donation model. This cash assistance, totaling more than $1.1 million to date, helps parents cover the cost of groceries, rent, medicine, and other essentials. With systems change as a primary goal, the Good+ Training Academy provides technical assistance and education to social workers, home visitors, and other frontline workers. Training workshops range from father engagement and addressing implicit bias in child welfare to kinship care and mental health support.Overall, Good+Foundation initiatives address key systems and barriers that lead to generational poverty. With operations in New York City and Los Angeles, Good+Foundation has provided more than $112 million in essential goods since 2001. 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.To learn more about Good+Foundation and its significant impact, review the 2023 Annual Report
