The Social Good Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to create and
establish positive influences for individuals, communities, and the environment. Our goal is to
sponsor projects that will help positively impact and develop local communities into healthier
and happier places to live, work, and be. https://www.socialgoodfund.org/
We achieve the mission through the practice of efficient, effective, low-barrier, high-quality fiscal
sponsorship. (Learn more about fiscal sponsorship https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/tools-resources/fiscal-sponsorship-n....)
Beginning with one half-time employee in 2014 and zero revenue, Social Good Fund has now
grown into a mature, full-service fiscal sponsorship organization with nearly a dozen full-time
core operations employees, over 150 sponsored project employees, and annual revenue of over
$20M. We serve as fiscal sponsor to hundreds of nonprofit/charitable programs and projects
across a wide diversity of program focus and content, in a host of geographic locations both
domestically and abroad.
Demand for our services continues to grow, as does the necessity for the organization to add
capacity to meet the demand.
