GOODProjects combines long-term, place-based investment with measurable outcomes for children, families, and communities. Here’s what a decade of building alongside our communities has made possible.
Investing in community. A decade of sustained, place-based work alongside children and families.
One neighborhood. One ambitious goal. Our GOODZone strategy is working toward economic mobility for 500 Southwest D.C. families by 2030.
Violence is down. A 45% reduction in violence in our GOODZone working area since 2022.
Academic growth that compounds. Students in GOODProjects programming improve an average of 1.2 grade levels annually
Whole-family progress, measured. Family Success Planning tracks individualized goals across education, health and wellbeing, housing, workforce development, and economic mobility.
Capital brought to the work. More than $6.9 million secured to invest in children, families, and communities since GOODProjects was founded.
Funders keep investing. 87 grants secured from government, foundation, and corporate partners since 2016.
A model built to travel. GOODZone communities in Washington, D.C. and Nairobi, Kenya test the place-based model across dramatically different contexts.
At GOODProjects, we measure whether families and communities are becoming more stable, safer, and economically secure — not simply how many people participate.
Household stability, family goals, housing, wellbeing, and progress toward self-sufficiency.
Academic growth, school engagement, social-emotional development, and pathways for young people.
Violence reduction, conflict mediation, community engagement, and neighborhood-level safety.
Food security, emergency support, nutritious food access, and connections to longer-term stability.
Career readiness, credentials, employment, income growth, and pathways to economic mobility.
Leading foundations and corporate partners have continued investing in GOODProjects as our work and impact have grown.
