Donation campaigns on your own rails

Premium Partner badge, free

The gold Premium Partner badge, usually a paid upgrade, is included for every verified non-profit on the For Good plan.

Monthly reach credits

A free monthly budget of reach credits to feature your campaigns in the countries and categories that matter to your cause.

SDG-aligned discovery

Direct newsfeed access

Post updates, calls for volunteers, and emergency appeals to travelers in your countries of operation. No mailing list needed.

Priority review

Edits and campaign launches are reviewed same-day by a human. When a crisis hits, you publish in hours, not weeks.

The For Good community

Meet your peers. Meet your funders

For Good is a network, not just a listing. We introduce you to other verified NGOs working on your causes, and open access to the grantmakers and impact investors actively looking to fund missions like yours.

Peer NGO network

Get introduced to other verified non-profits working in your country, region, or on the SDGs you care about. A quiet, focused community of people solving the same problems you are.

  • Opt-in peer directory, visible only to For Good members
  • Quarterly roundtables by region and by SDG
  • Shared campaign templates and translations
  • Warm mutual referrals when travelers need help you don't provide

Access to grantmakers and impact investors

We curate a list of philanthropic foundations, corporate CSR partners, and impact investors actively looking to fund work in your SDGs and regions. Warm introductions, not cold email blasts.

Funder types on the platform
  • Private foundations
  • Corporate CSR partners
  • Family offices
  • Impact investors
  • Public grantmakers
  • UN agency funds
  • Bilateral donors

Funders opt in to the program and choose which SDGs and regions they want to see. No inbox spam, on either side.
