Our Belief:
Prospective donors are on the sidelines and need to know their dollars can drive impact to contribute.
TGW is the mechanism that bridges from intention to action.
“Like many families, we care passionately about solving the youth mental health crisis in the United States. The Goodness Web’s approach of curating the best solutions and directing collective donations will make a substantially significant impact on the well-being of youth and their families. We are excited to be part of TGW and to connect with others to make a difference."
-Janet Booth Zide, The Zide Family Foundation, Founding Family of The Goodness Web
