“The organization's certificate and by-laws provide for a membership structure whereby all of the organization's directors also serve as the organization's members and whereby the organization's members have the right to elect and remove directors and approve fundamental corporate changes (e.g., merger, dissolution, amendments to the organization's governing documents, etc).”

“The completed form 990 is reviewed by the executive director and director of finance & administration and then sent to the organization's president, secretary, treasurer, and audit and finance committee for final review. The treasurer updates the rest of the board on the process and each board member receives a copy of the final form prior to filing.”

“The board of directors receives the conflict of interest policy and annual conflict of interest disclosure statement prior to the annual (usually january) board meeting. The secretary reviews this policy with the board at that meeting. Board members are invited to ask questions at the meeting and/or discuss potential conflicts with the secretary and/or executive director following the meeting. All directors must complete and sign the disclosure statement and send it to the executive director within a month of the meeting.”

“The hr committee of the board reviews the salary and performance of the executive director each year. The board votes on the salary of the executive director in a closed session as part of the budget approval process each year. At the same time, the board approves the salary allocations for the rest of the staff. For the executive director's salary, the board compares against comparables. The executive director does the same in determining her staff's salaries.”

“The organization's financial statements and its forms 990 since 2001 can be found on its website. Other documents are available upon request.”

“Founded in 2001 by jessica seinfeld, good+foundation is a leading national nonprofit that works to dismantle multi-generational poverty by pairing tangible goods with innovative services for low-income fathers, mothers and caregivers, creating an upward trajectory for the whole family. In 2020, we served 403,678 families through our regular network partners and covid crisis response partners. This included 566,221 children, 431,957 mothers, and 286,911 fathers.”

“Crisis intervention/covid-19 crisis response - the global pandemic impacted good+ families swiftly and mercilessly, and we needed to be innovative and expansive in our responses. Because of lack of inventory and supply chain disruption, diaper requests skyrocketed. Good+foundation donated 4,592,006 diapers in 2020 to program partners across the country, an increase of 273% compared to 2019. We collected and distributed 130,387 ppe items, including masks in adult and children sizes, cleaning products, and hand sanitizers. We also distributed 1,320,968 bath, health, and hygiene products, 108,147 packs of wipes, 85,197 packages of baby food and formula, and 65,768 backpacks and school supplies for children engaged in remote learning. In addition to dramatically scaling up our product donations to families impacted by the covid crisis, we also launched our first ever financial grantmaking program in 2020. We administered two rounds of emergency cash grants totaling $265,000 to 42 partner organizations servicing over 2,700 families. These grants helped parents pay rent and utilities, cover groceries and gas, and purchase phone minutes/data for online schooling. 74% of grant funds were used to provide gift cards to families to purchase essential items including food and supplies. Program expenses: $1,516,157 grants: $1,341,335 program revenue: $ 0”
