We only focus on high-impact nonprofits so you feel confident that you’re making smart giving decisions. Here’s how we source and vet the giving options available to you through Goodnation.
Foundations
Professional foundations that are committed to advancing the highest quality of work invest heavily to find the best nonprofits, structure grants to them and monitor their progress. Their staff is made up of experts in their program areas, with a deep understanding of what it means for a nonprofit to be successful in their mission. To select the nonprofits on Goodnation, we work with these leading foundations, including:
Nonprofits
Each nonprofit has an individual profile on the Goodnation platform that includes their mission, impact statistics, program details, leadership information and more, so you can smartly choose which organizations to support. Some of the high-performing nonprofits on the platform include:
Causes
Our nonprofits fall under more than 30 different causes. On the platform, you can dive deeper into each cause, exploring the issue at hand and what nonprofits fall under it.
Values
Goodnation takes a values-based approach to our philanthropy advising. We ask our nonprofits to select the value that best represents how they approach their mission, and we ask our donors to identify their core values, admittedly not an easy exercise. We use this information to strengthen the match between our donors and nonprofits. For example, two organizations with the core mission of increased college access may approach their work completely differently, and it’s important that difference is reflected to our donors before they decide where to direct their giving.
Goodnation Score
Each nonprofit is rated using the unique Goodnation Score, which we’ve built as a quantitative scoring system that takes into account the investments of the most rigorous professional foundations while also assessing the current financial health and governance of the nonprofit. Thanks to how we source organizations, we feel confident that all of those on Goodnation are smart giving opportunities, but the score allows us to take a deeper look for added assurance.
Thank you to our partners and supporters, including the following, for amplifying the mission of Goodnation.
