Greater Good Charities

Greater Good Charities, a global nonprofit focused on helping people, animals and the environment, said it has surpassed $1.1 billion in lifetime impact since its founding in 2006. The organization marked the milestone with the release of its 20-Year Impact Report, which documents two decades of humanitarian, animal welfare and environmental efforts worldwide.

Originally launched as an online platform connecting donors with charitable causes, Greater Good Charities has grown into a global operation active in 121 countries. The nonprofit works across disaster response, animal health and wellbeing, biodiversity and conservation, and humanitarian relief and development, relying on partnerships with more than 10,000 community organizations, nongovernmental organizations and corporate partners to deliver aid at scale.

According to the report, the organization has delivered $1.1 billion in aid across six continents, including more than 500 million meals for people and 895 million meals for pets. Its work also includes protecting more than 1.35 million acres of land, safeguarding 15 billion bees and native pollinators, providing 300,000 safe rides to school for girls, conducting over 76,000 spay and neuter surgeries, and distributing more than 3.5 million books.

“Twenty years of listening to and partnering with communities worldwide has shown us that people, animals and the environment are inextricably linked — and complex challenges require creative solutions,” said Liz Baker, CEO of Greater Good Charities. “By working with local leaders on-the-ground, as well as with manufacturers, distributors and retailers, we've redefined expectations for how quickly aid can move during a crisis.”

As it enters its third decade, Greater Good Charities said it will continue adapting its approach and using emerging technologies to respond quickly to evolving needs.
