Featured Story
Daniella
As the sixth of nine children, Daniella’s parents did not have a lot of time, and they missed the warning signals that something was not quite right at school. Luckily, a social worker from DoGood noticed that Daniella’s grades were dropping and realized she was having trouble reading and writing. Now Daniella has the extra help she needs to excel at school - and life.
Featured Story
Oliver
At the age of four, Oliver lost both of his parents in a car accident. Oliver was in the car at the time of the accident, and though he walked away without any physical injuries, he was emotionally devastated. With help from DoGood, Oliver became very active in sports, and though this can’t take away the pain of losing his parents, it has helped him to rediscover joy.

Education
A solid foundation in education is key to success later in life. Your donation funds teachers, books and extracurricular activities to help get youngsters off to the right start.
Health
Basic health care that many of us take for granted can be hard for others to access. We ensure that underprivileged youngsters and adults have access to the health practitioners they need.
Community
Community is the family that goes beyond family. It is the people and places that we come in contact with each and every day. When we strengthen communities, we strengthen individuals.
Our
Mission & Values
We are dedicated to provided opportunities for all young people to live a better life. Our donations are given to all children in need, without regard to their race, religion, or background. We strive to create a better world, and we thank all of you for helping us to achieve that.
We were founded almost 100 years ago, by John Smith, the child of immigrants, who grew up to love the country and the people around him. Smith started in his charitable activities by donating the farm where he was raised to start a summer camp for underprivileged city kids. Since then, his activities have grown, prospered and expanded.
